Last month, we had the chance to get into the soft leather Obakki shoulder bag belonging to our amazing Alberta editor (and one of the newest additions to the FASHION team), Caroline Gault, when she was in Toronto for our semi-annual conference along with Vancouver-based editor Joy Pecknold. Naturally, the first thing we asked her upon meeting her was to get a closer look at her personals. Want to take a peek while we’re at it?
