The crossbody ‘Bachelors Handbag’ nods to Australian rotisserie chicken culture, with the clear plastic hot chook barrel having become synonymous with tradies and bachelors alike.

Vince Usher, Creative Director of Size 11 and Lead Brand Thinker at Thinkerbell, said: “We can’t claim to have invented colloquialisms, you have to thank the people at Deniliquin for that… But we’re not ashamed to say that our Bringing ‘The Bachelor’s Handbag’ to life as streetwear’s newest staple is one of Australian design’s greatest achievements. Just wait and see, no doubt it will one day be on display at the Powerhouse Museum along with Vegemite, Hills’ Hoist and WiFi.”
