I could put my thermos of coffee inside without worrying that it might spill. I could stuff in a roll of trace, bag of markers, scales (architectural) and plans...it went with me everywhere for over 10 years. Then the handles wore out. I would PAY for another like it and though I have bought many a cava, none have been able to shoulder the burden.<br />That one from Vere sounds ok....maybe!jeanette, mistress of longearshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/longears/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-50612751658580809362010-03-07T10:03:57.346-05:002010-03-07T10:03:57.346-05:00You can get very chic granny carts as well(natural...You can get very chic granny carts as well(naturally for chic French grannies).

And I have to admit to owning one of the granny carts--mine is black with cherries. No, I don't use it here--it's back in Belgium---but it is the only way to get home with your goods from the open air market in Brussels.

I love a good, big, roomy bag, but I usually need one with side compartments and pockets and zippers, etc, to organize stuff, or I have to constantly dump all the contents out so I can find the one crazy thing I'm looking for. Drives me nuts.

Go to the Vere store ...Don't hesitate a moment! Go to the Vere store on the net and feast over their lovely chic metallic bags.<br /><br />Mind you, there wares are meager...they just sell tyvek bags in silver or a wonderful burnished gold. (I have the silver). BIG PLUS: the only other fashionista I've seen carrying this bag is my dear friend who gave me one!<br /><br />These are SO chic, light and indestrucible. The bag is very roomy and could carry a whole jacket if you needed to stash one, but they can fold up and fit inside your fist. And if you stash it in your handbag, it's there for all the impromptu shopping sprees.<br /><br />The bags evolve into a wrinkled look that looks like it was intended. I LOVE it even more this way.<br /><br />There is a truly wondreful black tyvek raincoat on the Vere splash page that I crave. Alas....it's not in their Shopping items.Fenwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600879778583691021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-65046996177350754242010-03-04T09:13:16.941-05:002010-03-04T09:13:16.941-05:00Ask your niece to buy it Tommy!
