I know everywhere I look in the fashion press the bags are tiny, tiny, tiny.  And I did recently buy on ebay a great vintage Coach messenger bag which fits that bill.  But I can’t help lusting after this Clare Vivier La Tropezienne bag.  It is gorgeous and looks like it will only get better with age.  I have been stalking it now for a month – seeing if it will go on sale or waiting until my love for it becomes overwhelming and I can swallow the $USD320 price tag but alas, no not as yet.  She is a beauty isn’t she?  (And I felt I needed to reclaim this space after all this silly bike nonsense.)
