For the reader who is emotionally invested in people who aren’t real and carries that emotional baggage everywhere.
This bookish tote bag is made for readers who fall hard for fictional characters, obsess over book boyfriends, cry over plot twists, and have absolutely purchased a book based on one quote about a morally questionable man.
The wraparound design pairs the statement “Emotionally Invested in People Who Aren’t Real” with a rich vintage bookish aesthetic featuring stacks of books, roses, candles, anatomical hearts, a skull, quills, coffee, reading glasses, and romantic gothic details.
The deep black, cream, red, blush, and warm vintage tones make this an especially fun choice for romance, dark romance, fantasy, and romantasy readers.
Use it for bookstore trips, library hauls, book club, work, everyday errands, or carrying the three books you brought along “just in case.”
