Everyone has it. The trick is to carry it elegantly.

We are all damaged in diverse and interesting ways; we’ve been humiliated, we can’t trust, we’re furious or relentlessly anxious. No one has been spared; we’re all a little crazy. Yet much depends on how we face up to our difficulties: whether we’re bitter and defensive, or self aware and honest.

This tote bag celebrates one of the most exciting projects any of us can undertake: learning how to carry our emotional baggage well.’
