Each has its own salty tale of adventure, and this Octopus Handbag features an illustration from the official expedition report of the HMS Challenger, which was the 1872-76 scientific cruise that established the field of oceanography. How is that for bag bragging rights? The lining is printed with Charles Darwin’s handwritten notes from The Origin of Species as an incredible touch.
