Perfectly girly in appearance, completely refined in execution. A "beverage dispenser" we love at our favorite rock club has a fabulous 1940's hairdo, wicked tatts on her upper arms, and no fewer than 2 dozen sequined bags of various styles. Fade to an "older" bottle-blonde trophy wife, head-to-toe in Ralph, walking out of a very expensive shoe boutique...with a small sequined bag on a long rope. We saw the light.

Ours is a finely tuned selection of sizes and styles, but all pass the basic test: be big enough for a $20, an AMEX, a passport or driver's license, and a lipstick.
