The handle is hand-stitched and finished with a subtle gunmetal Anya Hindmarch bow. Would love to have this bag for Valentine’s Day *wink*

I am in the midst of looking for a nice handbag right now. I want one that is not too casual and yet big enough for me to put all my things in there. I love big handbags because I carry a lot of things with me. Lipsticks, eye drop, wet wipes, medication, raincoat for my daughter, purse, keys, handphones, etc. Yeah, basically everything except the kitchen sink. I just came across this nice handbag store online – Ellingtonhandbags.com and I am in love. I have my eyes on a few of them.

In the mid 90’s, I bought myself a clear tote bag from Esprit. I loved the bag as it was big and I can fit many things inside it. Of course the contents of the bag were visible to many people. I usually kept my things in a medium size fabric bag and then put the said bag into the clear tote. I want a little bit of privacy especially when it comes to my makeup set, hoodia gordonii pills or my purse which I carry in my bag. Alas, after a few months, the plastic turned yellowish and I discarded it. Earlier today when I was at the mall, I saw a lady carrying a Polo Ralph Lauren Clear Pony Tote. It sure brought back memories of my Esprit bag. Now I am really interested in getting this Clear Pony Tote.

I love totes made of fabrics, especially those made from gunny, burlaps or recycled material. I was browsing Etsy.com and stumbled upon some lovely totes at Vintage Junky Style. The totes were constructed using scraps from vintage grain sacks. How lovely! The totes are very sturdy and have been prewashed for softness. Another reason why I like these totes is because each of them also feature a removable flower corsage whihc was created from new and vintage materials. If you are looking for a beach bag, diaper bag or a bag for grocery shopping, just head over to Vintage Junky Style and check them out.
