It’s got that Monogram Multicolor canvas, which is, like, vintage Murakami coolness. Honestly, I’m a sucker for anything Murakami does. Those happy little cartoon flowers just make me smile, even if they’re plastered all over something ridiculously expensive. I mean, a *pencil pouch*? C’mon, LV, are you serious?
But then I read about this *other* Charlotte. This one’s from some anime, apparently. I haven’t watched it, but the description sounds kinda wild. Like, kids with superpowers? And some academy where they learn to control them? It sounds like a mashup of X-Men and Harry Potter, but probably with way more angst. The whole “let’s live a life full of fun things!” thing on that wiki page is kinda cheesy, but also… kinda nice? I dunno. I’m feeling sentimental today.
So, you have this super-luxurious, kinda pretentious pencil pouch, and this anime about superpowered teens. What do they have in common? Absolutely nothing, probably. Except for the name, obviously. But, like, isn’t it weird how a name can evoke such different things? One screams “I have disposable income!” and the other screams “I’m a weeb who cries during anime finales!” Okay, maybe not *screams*. But you get the idea.
Honestly, I’m kinda torn. I’d love to rock that LV x Murakami pencil pouch, just to be all fancy and artsy. But then again, maybe I should just binge-watch “Charlotte” and embrace my inner anime nerd. Or, wait… what if I put my anime pens in the LV pouch? Is that too much? Too contradictory? Is my brain even working right now?
