"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'll be introducing this time is model Kaino Yu. Kaino says, "This year I want a bag that will get me in the Christmas spirit." We asked her to pick out a bag that will be the center of attention and brighten up your outfit just by carrying it, on the first floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku.
