Designer Handbags

Ahh how I love Coach. I do realize that this is the Purse Blog but why not hit the road less traveled every once in a while and feature something totally different and out of the ordinary. Let me place a few thoughts into your head. Spring, flowers, green grass, puppies, butterflies, sunshine, and that one special day that is coming up in your life where you want your significant other to plan the perfect picnic for you. Whether its on the beach, in a park, by the mountains, what better way to set a mood than with a picnic. Now women, you really need to slyly pass this post along to your men to teach that what is is we crave and love…. sigh. Anyhow, back on track. Like I said, picnics are romantic and desired by most if not all women.

Coach to the rescue. They’ve come out with their spanking new Coach Straw Picnic Basket. With their neverending innovative ideas, Coach has designed the ultimate picnic basket. It’s jam packed with goodies like luxurious bamboo-handled flatware, fine white and Scribble patterned china, Coach leather napkin rings, tumbler glasses, coffee cups and Scribble design saucers, and even a wine opener. Wow! What a huge basket(2 (L) x 16 1/2 (W) x 10 (H)) filled with only the best! Here is where we run into a slight problem. It of course, like all other luxury goods, is going to cost ya’ some bling. $1,998 to be exact.

And again, we are all back to day dreaming about that perfect picnic with that perfect man with that perfect day with that perfect new Basket.

Just because it feels so good, and I’m feeling my writer’s block like a constipated monk on cabbage diet, here’s a few more Fall handbag highlights (besides, pictures do tell more than a thousand words anyway):
