It’s Sunday and we had to visit my family where we had to be picked up in Cubao after a 30-minute scooter ride from Makati.

I usually use a nondescript/non-logo bag for these “long distance” rides, but I haven’t used this Mulberry Trout since I learned how to move around the city in our scooter. And speaking of Mulberry, I never got the chance to put here these big-ass Mulberry bags.
