I posted a couple of pics of my PS1 bag in my post about my planners for 2013. I have had several comments and emails about it so will post some more photos here.

It is a Proenza Schouler PS1 in size large. You also get medium and extra large and then an upright tote for if you don’t like the front fold over flap on the regular version.

The colour is Purple Rain and it is the perfect blue violet. It is hard to photograph perfectly so I am putting up some stock photos that perfectly match the colour. Mine (taken in permanent Swedish winter darkness) make it look almost maroon. I have included a teal medium size because that is another gorgeous jewel colour that is absolutely stunning.

I love handbags – they are my shield, my womb, my pantry, my office, my luggage. I work from my handbag, I travel over weekends with everything I need in a large handbag. I batter them and love them and use them to within an inch of their life. Every job and every promotion I have had in my long career has been celebrated with a quality handbag. My first Typepad blog was about handbags

I have thought for a while about featuring one of my handbags every day – history behind them pros and cons etc. I have enough to last through about 90 days of posts! Would anybody be interested in that?
