Last Post about Lucky Magazine
Ok, after this I promise no more from the April issue of Lucky. Two good things that I must share:
The Pink Horse Canvas Bag from Talla. I especially liked this quote from the designer:
"Each print is an original. My fabrics are all hand-blocked and hand-printed, 1 yard at a time. If you look closely at the fabric, the prints are not exactly perfect, which makes it so beautiful."
Now I am all for cheap, mass produced bags and own many of my own, but I also like the idea of unique hand printed fabric and carrying around something 100% original. Especially when it involves this cute and unique horse print. I came really close to ordering this bag, but hesitated since I was afraid the white would get dirty fast.
I had been wondering for awhile what all the hype was about Petit Bateau. I picked up a long sleeve v necked shirt at a big sale recently at the Abejas Boutique and it is quite comfy, a lovely shade of blue-gray and looks like it will hold up well. So I certainly noticed in the April issue that Petit Bateau is now making totes. I couldn't use this as an everyday bag since I need a shoulder stap but I think it would be great for day trips like a picnic or the beach.I couldn't find the bag anywhere on the (hard to navigate) web site, so just keep an eye out if you have a local boutique.

Oh wow, I actually ordered the Lucky Talla horse bag! The horse print is very similar to the Kentucky Horse Park logo, so it made me nostalgic for trips there when I was a kid. It's not the most practical item of clothing, but horse prints are just too tough for me to resist.

I am looking for a "carpet Bag" by Mena, New York. A women who owns the purse told me to look up Lucky Magazine. The tag inside the purse was "Mena"
Anyone know anything?

Thanks for the great article. This is a cute bag. I love the idea of owning something original or buying a designer bags for less at places like http://www.shopcandycouture.com or http://www.ebay.com.
