Who, me? I remember being a teen on a trip to NYC from our small town in Florida with my mom combing through shops to find a bedazzled “MASTER” necklace (to fully copy the one pictured on Karen O on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album) but instead settled on a ring with FUCK spelled out in crystals. I had always felt like kind of a wallflower but offensive fashion on full display was starting to really call to me. This bag is in honor of that spirit: taking power from the profane and being flippant about a label that you aren’t supposed to be proud of. Living in NY taught me to honor that.
