Profiling 77 types of bags and the personas of the women who carry them, Kathryn Eisman discusses the pros and cons of each bag lady from the Hermès to the designer fake, the straw bag to bum bag in her book via Cosmo, How To Tell A Woman By Her Handbag. Here, she decodes a few of the most popular arm candy for you…
Elegant Clutch Lady
She has enough confidence to not worry about carrying her whole life in her bag.The Clutch Lady is socially ambitious and not afraid to let a man carry her keys or lighter or whatever else won’t fit in their bag. Marrying royalty or the royally rich would be her dream scenario and you can find her relaxing at home on a Saturday night, refusing to go out with an average guy.
Designer Fake Lady
The Designer Fake woman knows how to get the most out of her budget. She believes everyone should be able to carry a `30,000 Sonia Rykiel bag but shouldn’t have to pay more than a thousand bucks for the privilege. With the patience of a saint, she’ll hunt through sales racks for the perfect bargain, which she’ll wear to a party where she’ll insist on drinking only the finest wine.
Ethically Chic Bag Lady
Socially and environmentally conscious, she’s fun-loving and laid back. She knows that ethics are ‘in’ and does her share by denouncing the croc, kidskin, and leather. The eco-chic chick can also buy a bar of chocolate without guilt as long as she knows it’s 100 percent organic. With places to see and things to do, she is unobtrusive with a busy life, environmentally inclined, and fashion conscience.
Logo Luggage Lady
So her luggage costs more than most people’s holidays, but that’s the point. A woman carrying designer luggage wants you to know she lives an exclusive, highmaintenance lifestyle, and her luggage is only a reflection of expensive tastes and appreciation for the very, very fine things in life.
