I am starting a new series of posts called Lottery Bags. These bags are so named because the only way I could afford them or could possibly justify spending so much on a purse would be if I won the lottery. Seeing as how I don’t buy lottery tickets it is unlikely that I’ll win, but it’s always fun to dream.
First up, the Prada Saffiano Print Tote.
It doesn’t get much better than a classic shape with a funky yet versatile pattern. Prada has covered the tough leather exterior in a pattern that looks like it was painted on. It reminds me of a beautiful old wall paper pattern that might have been in the Biltmore Estate or a European palace.
The Prada Saffiano Print Tote can be yours for only $2,450. If you decide to buy it, pick one up for me too.
My new favorite, Radley London, is having a sale on select spring handbags. It’s not their best stuff (because why would you put your best stuff on sale?) but it does involve a few pretty adorable bags. I’ve got my eye on the Farringdon Large Multi-way Bag-regularly $130 on sale for $94.
I usually buy leather bags so nylon is a departure for me. It seems like a pretty versatile bag but the question is, is it too sporty looking? Would it look okay with a sundress?
What do you think?
My favorite purse from high school was made for me by my friend, Emily, out of green velour and a pair of khaki pants, so there is a special place in my heart for handmade bags.
“Handmade” is sometimes interpreted as poorly made but Etsy is doing a lot to change that. Etsy. com is a site where artisans and craftspeople can sell their creations like jewelry, art, pottery and, yes, purses, along with vintage items and craft materials. Periodically I will be featuring Etsy products and sellers that will make you proud to say that your purse is handmade.
Our first Etsy spotlight is the seller AllyBu. AllyBu has a day job as an accountant and uses sewing as her creative outlet. She makes cute cotton hobos and wristlets in a variety of colorful patterns. They are just the kind of light and airy bags I want to carry after a winter full of dark leather. They are fully lined and have pockets to hold your assundry small stuff. Please check out her entire selection of products here.
A great tote for any bag-loving gal.
Available through Bag Ladies.
Happy April Fool’s Day, everyone!
