Pick Your Pockets

Pera Handbags

Your purse contains:

a) loose pocket change.
b) pocket fives.
c) a Hot Pocket.

If you answered yes to at least one of the above (before finishing the Hot Pocket), you’re a ripe target for a Pera handbag.

Local designer Lindy Taylor-Williams constructs her purses, clutches, and wallets with removable and washable linings, wrist straps, and pockets cut to fit all manner of iThings. The bags are made in Bellevue from Napa and Italian leathers stained magenta, turquoise, saffron, and black.

If you buy one at the Pera sample sale this weekend, you won’t have to squeeze into a size zero. Good thing, as there will also be bubbly and Bakery Nouveau treats.

Not to mention something left to line your pockets.

Sample sale, tonight, 5:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., at Clementine, 4447 California Avenue Southwest (206-935-9400 or clementines.com).
