Many guests–especially those who live near by and pass by the pink, white and Swarovski-bedazzled store on a daily basis–were shocked to discover the friendly price tags at this posh Madison Avenue boutique. Ranging from $150 to $600, with a few Tinsley Mortimer styles going up to $1100, the majority of the stores handbags are in the $300 range. For $300 you get great quality, luxury styles that you’ll enjoy for many seasons to come.

My favorite finds from the store include last week’s bag-a-licious Tinsley Mortimer for Samantha Thavasa quilted, envelope clutch in orange and the studded pink Samantha Thavasa tote that I raved about two weeks ago. The studded group, located in the back of the store, got a lot of attention from our guests, and you’ll want to check out that wall of bag-a-licious goodies next time you’re in the area. Modern, rocker-glam is going to be a big look for fall and holiday 2009 so you might as well start it off now. We know how you bagista babes like to be first.   more>

The festive evening capped off with the announcement of our raffle winner. And the prize – a Samantha Thavasa quilted black tote with matching cosmetic case went to Tracy Damas. Congrats.

Will you be our next winner? Stay tuned for details on the next bag-a-licious soiree and we hope to see you there!
