"I love bags!" "I could talk about bags for an hour!" "I own over 50 bags!" "I decide my outfit for the day starting with the bag." A "BAGNISTA" is someone who has an endless love for bags.

The bagista we're introducing today is model Yui Matsumoto. Having given birth to her first child, a son, last year, Matsumoto says, "I like to enjoy coordinating my outfits by changing my bag depending on where I'm going and who I'm meeting." We asked her to pick out some outing bags suitable for various occasions on the first floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku.
