My printed bag by L.
Hey ladies!
We have a new category; the idea came from emails we often receive from readers wanting to know more about our personal style....Ask and it shall be given.....
Last month, I was shopping for a new every day bag like a black hobo or a brown satchel one; something very classic and neutral. But, when I arrived in the Nordstrom bag departement, I totally changed my mind: I was blown away by a range of bold colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, green; almost all the colors of the rainbow were represented. It reminded me of how fast spring was approaching. And then my eyes caught this one (picture below) and I was doomed.
Yes a printed bag! It's so far from a classic black hobo! But I absolutely loved the shape of the purse. This oversized satchel is by African American designer, Tracy Reese. At first, I was a little hesitant because of the tag price, $250. I usually would not spend that much on a printed bag mainly because it's difficult to match...and truth be told, printed bags only last a few seasons. But this one was special; I really wanted to spoil myself (for my b-day), I finally bought it and it was the last one they had in store !!! Maybe they saved the best for last??
