Pike Place Bags

I’ve been shopping at Pike Place Bags since… well, since before I moved to Seattle. The first time I visited there was when I was on a road trip from Portland. I was wandering in the underbelly of Pike and stumbled across the store which I have returned to many times over the year.
I have to say that I am particular (some say picky) about bags in terms of functionality. My anal retentive tendencies and OCD characteristics lead me into a frenzy of measuring bags, incessantly opening pockets, and zipping/​unzipping zippers. When I’m shopping for a bag, I am clear about what I’m looking for in terms of function (style is just a plus).
I remember the first «expensive» bag I got here was a rolling travel case. Over the years, I’ve also bought backpacks, slings, and small packs here. The staff members have always been friendly and helped me with what I need (usually to check stock, get something I can’t reach, or offer suggestions).

What a great little shop! I have never seen better deal on bags in this style! I got the cutest one for over the shoulder to use when traveling and I was looking at another more expensive one and the owner flat out said the cheaper one was more durable! $ 13 …no joke and I not own the handiest damned bag ever! LOOOOOOVE that! They have a great variety of bags too — something for everyone!
