I have been swapping new plastic-weave bags (some from my MTN New Contemporaries installation) for used ones. These have come from predominantly immigrant traders at various markets in Cape Town and Marabastad in Pretoria. The battered and worn bags tell individual stories, some are beautifully mended and some have travel tags. Each one has its own unique patina.
