In this week’s newsletter: Poor Bridget’s nouveau riche tastes are everything old money families like the Roys hate: loud, practical and the sign of a class interloper
. It’s carried by Bridget, Cousin Greg’s unexpected date to Logan Roy’s birthday party.
But it’s Tom who really captures the family’s issue with Bridget. Her clothing – and worst of all her “monstrous” bag – signifies that she is not part of their world.“What’s even in there?” Tom laments. “Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job”.
The world of schleppers is, of course, full of bags. Filled with last night’s leftovers for lunch, trainers for the commute, reusable water bottles, makeup, gym gear, the list goes on. Sometimes you even need a second one: Bridget definitely has a reusable tote with a Girl Boss slogan on it buried at the bottom of that Burberry.
But it’s not just the size of Bridget’s bag that jars. Although logo-less, its vintage check print makes it instantly recognisable. This is a logoless logo that has a long and somewhat complicated relationship with class prejudice.
