It’s annoying enough when someone is wearing the same outfit as you at a party. But a festival is really just a massive party, so the odds of clashing with another camper are greatly increased. I found this year’s Glastonbury bag at a local car boot sale for £1. I was drawn to it by its 80s essence and I find it’s gold detailing reminiscent of Dolce and Gabbana medallions. Here are my tips for finding your festival bag.
1. Decide on your style. Are you a rucksack or a satchel person? Do you carry around a million things or just a phone and a fiver? Once you are focussed on the style and size for you, searching will become much easier.
2. Avoid the high street. As well as being totally bland most of the time, the high street is usually the first place everyone will look to find their festival garments. Unless you’re planning on customising, or happy to spot your clones around the fields, try to find somewhere less mainstream.
3. Consider vintage or second hand. As well as being unique, the price tags are competitive with Primark AND you won’t be carrying guilt about the environment and sweatshops around with you.
4. Think practically. This bag will be going through a lot with you. Rain, sun, mud, cider, jumping in crowds and crawling back to your tent. Yes, it needs to look great, but also needs to survive until the end of the festival.
