American celebrities like to carry whatever Parisian IT $$$$$ bag is IN.
"I Forgot Whatever You Wanted" 😂
A New York Rizzoli book bag on the Metro - trés chic.
Sephora's black & white little striped paper shopping bag always looks chic.
Black & white striped anything looks chic in Paris.
Every shop has a signature shopping bag for free or maybe 5€
You can't go wrong with a cross-body bag.
In bright orange 🍊 + matching beret.
Louis Vuitton mini duffle bag works if you want to go upscale.
A matching boho couple not wearing IT bags. Hers, a simple plain black rectangular tote bag.
A supermarché plastic sac/bag = PAS BON 😑
No IT bag but 3 kiddies in tow.
The 'Doggie Bag' in Paris can mean something else 🐶
French dogs Don't Throw Food & know how to behave on the Metro 🚇
Yorkies 🐶 are the preferred breed. So much for spending €€€€ on your 👜 in Paris.
If you'd like Paris breakfast letters & maps in your mailbox 📮 please stop in my shop ☕️ Or you could buy me a KO-FI ☕️
A Fr mom with cross-body bag + 2 baguettes 🥖 Always a classique 👍
Thus is a post for me, Carol cuz I love bags. I have 3 LV, 6 different Longchamps and several cloth bags for shopping purposes. Plus many others. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI guess you have a special walk-in bag 👜 closet 👏
DeleteBy the way, plastic bags are NO NO in Paris.
ReplyDeletePlastic supermarket bags were Outlawed a couple of years ago, but in the marché…Hmm
DeleteLove your photos, Carol. They put a big smile on my face. I'm a bag saver!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ❤️ And I Love getting rid of bags 👜
DeleteLove collecting logo cloth shopping bags. As a matter of fact ,love collecting bags.
ReplyDeleteTotes or shopping sacs are legitimate ‘billboards’ for logos, fun sayings, splashes of color. Handbags, purses, cross-bodies could be an entire post on their own! I prefer a cross-body when traveling to keep my important things close.
ReplyDeleteLove the doggie bags! 😊
Cross-body bags are very hard to find here 🙄 in my experience
DeleteHmm…my Chloe and Chanels are cross-body…and they’re French. Go figure.
DeleteBL
CHANEL & CHLOÉ would definitely have it…but not for my pocketbook €€€€
DeleteLove your photos of people-on-the-street. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSolli calls them, ‘A Carol picture’ 📸
DeleteThat last little family:) Wheat hair:) I love people shots too:)
ReplyDeleteThat was at square de la Place Dauphine Monday morning. One of those ‘Decisive Moments’ shots. Just lucky 🍀
DeleteThe Paris fashion scene is still a disappointing sea of navy blue and black. Hopefully the warmer weather will bring out some creative color!
ReplyDeleteI did show The Real Emily in Paris’ PINK coat…and saw lots of other bright winter coats. Do you live here?
DeleteAnother great glimpse into Parisian culture. I love seeing Paris “doggie culture”. Whenever I have visitors Paris, I couldn’t help but photograph the lucky Parisian dogs who get to effortlessly travel around the city with their owners. I do appreciate the French ability to pull off a low-key and simple style (like with cloth bags) as opposed to the sometimes gauche American logo obsession.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you Stacia 👍
DeleteThe French truly embody that Je ne sais quoi when it comes to effortless style. Maybe tourists shouldn't be so anxious about what to wear to blend in and just wear what's comfortable and throw on a cloth bag, haha!
ReplyDeleteBoy do I agree on that! Tourists try too hard to ‘look’ Parisian and miss the boat 🚤 completely, usually overdoing brands and overdressing.
DeleteYou really know how to bring to us the sights and sounds of Paris not found anywhere else. It's about your quirky, artistic eye in my opinion. You don't go into "over serious" mode. Just one cool artist who has become our friend and go-to cultural guru. Merci.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI don’t think there’s a serious bone in my body 🥳
What a fun post! 2 bags I bought last time was a pink one from Homer by Janet sandwich shop and a canvas LV from the LV museum. At under 100 euros the only affordable LV!
ReplyDeleteI’m Big on Janet’s cole slaw 👍 I noticed their pink bags recently
DeleteAn LV bag under a C note? Maybe it was a typo?? You’re lucky 🍀 day Cindy 😄
love the black and white stripes and the multiple tote bags....i've never been a "designer" bag kinda girl ....love seeing what parisians are wearing....the usual....jeans and black something or other ....<3
ReplyDeleteMe too. Anyone with dough can wear a LEUK…it takes ingenuity to look interesting
