Anime-Inspired Luxury Satchels

This Pokemon Backpack by Jason Wu is Surprisingly Elegant

For those of you who may not know, this sphere is what is able to catch all of the Pokemon characters.

This well-made and well-structured satchel is made from baby calf and Saffiano leather and would serve perfectly for everyday wear. Pick up one of these bags and catch all of the glances of passerby's when sporting this satchel.
