My Latest Obsession
So every year I buy two great handbags, one for the Spring/Summer season and the other Fall/Winter. In 2013 I bought 3 handbags. As much as I loved my first two bags, especially my fall fringed Oxblood beauty, I was increasingly frustrated with the lack of compartments. It seemed that the bags I had chosen were just two beautiful big black holes on the inside, I couldn’t find anything and I seemed to be spending countless wasted minutes cursing at them. One beautiful December day, I’m working at Sloan helping some clients choose some gifts for their loved ones while out of the corner of my eye something kept grabbing my attention. Trying not to be rude to my clients, I finished helping them and made a bee-line to this little beauty that kept screaming my name. Beside’s the fact that it was Oxblood, and I already have one fabulous Oxblood bag, I started to look at it and was delighted to see all the wonderful compartments it had. Two on the outside, one for iPhone and the other perfect for my two sets of keys,. three on the inside, perfect for business cards and other goodies. The inside was perfect for my iPad, cosmetics bag, my other bag filled with junk, plus anything else i decided to throw in it. I was in love. Took the baby to market in NYC, great as a crossbody too, detailing great but simple, leather supple and gorgeous. But the biggest bang was what a great price it was.
