Monica's New Bag

Monica Lewinsky's Handbags

You’ve probably read more than enough about her, but lest you have forgotten… TODAY is the day that Ms. Lewinsky’s new bag line hits Bendel’s. To celebrate, Ms. Lewinsky is hosting an in-store appearance from 12 to 2 p.m. this afternoon. Run on over during lunch and tap into your inner Barbara Walters: Chat it up with the most infamous woman on earth (she’s actually quite sweet).

While it may be tempting to poke fun (like, who knew she was good with her hands too?), Monica’s bags — made of unstructured fabrics and gussied up with trimmings worthy of a canopy bed, are pretty darn cute. And, a portion of the proceeds from the trunk show will benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
