Top choice for bookbags, briefcases or even purses? I’m not interested in designer brands, I like the actually used stuff that’s for a good price!
Thank you SO much for watching this one🥹
You're the reason we keep waddling around the world looking for these special
moments, and we don't take that for granted. Truly. 🦆❤
If you're new here, watch our Shibamata video next — it's another side of Tokyo most tourists skip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P4QxqApk7A&list=PLA4HS4hqdjDNYP_UjNVlSUPCCyHFsOlMW&index=51 👀
go watch it, we'll wait here 🐥
