To your point on reinventing styles…Mary would be tickled pink..

Would love to see more fashion posts! I’m not sure about these bags … they seem too small and a little too fussy for my everyday life.

I think we called them Nantucket bags (or am I thinking of the baskets)?? I love the little Allegra bags available through Vivre. Just big enough, similar size to the Fendi I think.

Very creative bags and your list, thank you! I absolutely agree – I despise wearing the actual label for label sake, and frumpy should never be in anybodys wardrobe.

It will be age appropriate(ish) but never boring or Mumsy, or signal I don’t care-’cusI’mjustgoingtoVons…

Irish Independent newspaper (today):
Tesco has banned customers from wearing pyjamas while shopping at one of its stores in Cardiff
One of the first casualties of the ban is reported to have said “I’ve worn my best ones today: just so I look tidy. It’s just when I’m in a rush or busy with the kids . . .”

Just an interesting coincidence that these posts occurred on the same day!

PS. Readers – trust me, I KNOW Cardiff is in Wales, but the article WAS in an Irish newspaper. And I know SP would never wear pajamas to Vons – maybe Neiman Marcus or Barneys, but not Vons!

To think there was a time when I was not at all a carpet bagger. Girl’s night out we insisted we should take turns being on purse duty, just carried our credit card and lipstick. (not gloss ) Love them so much now, as do my friends. Perhaps it’s because they’re the only thing we don’t look fat in !!!! Love the idea of two for one Lady Eve. Sorry to hear though that small ones are coming back. Well, as Slim’s mother said, I will do my own thing. Thanks again for sharing

It must be a way to get people to feel they’ re getting their value in this economy: 2 bags for the price of one. Love the versatility. Slim, I still wear my Fendi baguettes and wore one the other day, in fact. I still love them. They’ re so well made and so so pretty. And , be forewarned, I believe SMALL purses are coming back. Check out Marc Jacobs bags on his website. Lots and lots of 8 inch bags. I have one on order already! So don’t go on a baguette diet just yet!

Wood handle with button on and off cover options. I think you could buy them at Papagallo. Popular with the Etienne Aniger/Talbots crowd.
