More x Jill Stuart x Liberty

Picked up the May issue of More magazine (590yen) today as it comes with a Jill Stuart small lunch tote bag in a Liberty print.

Liberty prints are currently very popular in Japan and can be seen from the MAC counters to clothes and bags by brands such as Samantha Thavasa. A Liberty mook ("magazine book") was also published last month. I also caught the Liberty fever in Honolulu, thanks to the Liberty for Target collection.

The cotton and polyester tote is quite small (21x20x10cm) although it has a fairly broad base. It cannot fit A4 or the More magazine but it can fit about 5 DVD cases. Although I like the cheerful print, the material feels quite thin.
