Imelda Marcos would be proud of us when we say that one can never have too many pairs of shoes or too many bags. The big difference between us and the ousted First Lady of the Phillipines is that we're thinking more along the lines of Roberto Cavalli than Silvia Fiorentina but we're probably a lot more hip than Mrs. Marcos. You hear that a woman is busted broke and you get the chance to go into a closet full of thousands of shoes and bags and when you get there... it's all old lady stuff. Damn, what a letdown. But get into the closet of someone like Nan Kempner? One should only be so lucky in their entire lifetime. Big name stuff, no name stuff but all in good taste. All just lovely. Well, there is no reason you can't be that woman in your own humble way. Who wouldn't want to think that their own estate sale is going to be every other woman's dream? Good clothes and accessories are all about the ego baby so buy well, because someone will be going through your belongings one day and there's no reason you can't still impress from the grave. A charming brown suede bag that is very slim, with two compartments stacked next to each other - each with its own graceful gold clasp. Suspended from a covered suede frame with a gilded chain handle, both pockets are lined in brown silk. 9.75" wide by 9.5" high with a single 6.5" handle. Excellent condition. $135.00 |
