Tame that bag!

I always have tons of paper bits in my bag, and if there's a zippered compartment or pocket, that's where they go. Unfortunately, changing bags becomes more of a production when all of this paper shuffling is taken into account. I could probably make my life a little easier - and my bag a little lighter - by weeding out the things I really don't need, but that's not as fun as finding something to corral it all, right? Right.

So, I'm thinking that a toiletry case would work for things like envelopes, papers, receipts, fortune cookie fortunes, blahblahblah... Something like these two might be fun. Gucci has two sizes listed on their site. The small toiletry case is 9.8" x 3.9" x 7", and the large is 12.6" x 3.9" x 7.1".

The small is $220.00 and the large $250.00. The large is probably a bit too big for what I have in mind, but might actually make a pretty good clutch in conjunction with my big blue tote.

The LV Trousse Toilette 23 (at eLuxury) is 9" x 5.9" x 2.4" and at $320.00, costs a bit more than either of the Gucci options.

I can't explain it, but I love LV monogram pieces. I love the way they look, the way they feel. The LV might be the winner. Then again, I've seen some really cute Lulu Guinness bags...

Today's bag: Pierotucci Birkin-style bag.
