The Man Bag

You know how when you visit Amazon, you’re logged in the website and it provides “recommended” products they think you will like. Today I was there and this man-bag was featured in my recommend products. I don’t know how they new it but they were right. I love it.

I’m not sure what determines a “man bag”. According to Wiki, the traditional man bag used to be a briefcase but today it is the messenger / reporter bags. I love messenger bags and I don’t think they are strictly masculine. This one would even go with the white tunic I mentioned yesterday!

This dark chestnut Pepita Italian Leather Explorer’s Bag is $129 from Amazon. It is “handmade in Italy using real vegetable-tanned Italian leather” and measures 8.25″ x 4″ x 10.25″; a perfect size for little treasures and every day use.

Peace For Your Heart Bags

Bridget Reid and Lizann Grupalo started a company called Peace For Your Heart (PFYH). They produce and sell Alpaca handbags and wraps. If you are not familiar with Alpaca it is an animal that lives in Peru that produces an abundance of fleece (think sheep here). PFYH “returns a percentage of every sale to local Peruvian families and their children in the highlands of Peru”.

Currently their fall line from last year is 50% off at their online boutique. And you know when I say boutique that means pricey. PFYH bags are made with baby alpaca fleece and fine Italian leather. I would definitely consider these luxury items that require more care than your average handbag. See the website for details.

I love the berry red Manhattan Tote for $347.50 (regular $695.00). It comes in other colors and textures.

And the Hamptons Hipster for $247.50 (regular $495). It also comes in black.
