It's in the Bag

Cynthia Vincent Handbags

Girl 1: Whoa, check out that old bag!

Girl 2: Excuse me?!

G1: Not you. Your purse! It’s ancient.

G2: Yeah, well, I want a new one, but everything I’ve seen has too many buckles or zippers or is the bag everyone in my office already has.

G1: Then you have to get one of Cynthia Vincent’s. She just launched a small collection of massive leather carryalls. Each has a simple boho vibe — no bells or whistles. My favorite is the Berkley, a huge open tote. But the messenger convertible is a close second.

G2: I love big bags. Too bad I can never find anything in them.

G1: Well, these come in brown, black, gray, and navy leather, but the liners are light printed canvas. So you can see what’s in there.

G2: Looks like it’s out with the old.
