Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Issey Miyake Pleats Please bag for a while now. I finally decided to go for it. I heard so many good things about these bags, how they are durable and functional.

First thing, I started to browse the shops that sell this bag. I found out that there were many online stores that got some. I saw some on sale, I think. The prices were all over the place, starting from around $130 and going way up. I was confused but I really wanted this bag.
After spending time on the internet, I came across the official Issey Miyake store. I figured, why not go straight to the source? It felt safer, you know? I browsed through their collection, saw lots of cool stuff, but I was there for the bag.
I found the Pleats Please tote bag on their site. It looked amazing, just like in the pictures I had seen. I read the descriptions. They talked about this special “garment pleating” thing they do, which sounded pretty cool. They pleat the fabric after sewing the garment. It’s made by a factory called Polytex.
I also learned about the different sizes and colors. It was a tough choice. There were so many options! I spent hours deciding. I mean, it’s a big purchase, right? Finally, I picked the one I liked the most.
The ordering process was smooth. I filled in my details, paid, and waited. It felt like forever, but the bag finally arrived. Unboxing it was exciting! It looked even better in person. The material felt really strong, and the pleats were so unique. I was happy to see that it had a flat bottom, which makes it easy to stand. The drawstring design is also convenient.
