Old Purse, New Tricks

October 13, 2008 by WendyB

I was practically married to my Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore Speedy handbag back in 2003. I carried it every day. It’s been sitting on a closet shelf for a couple of years, but a few weeks ago I decided it deserved to come out. (Thanks to MrB for fixing the zipper.) Here’s the bag with Gigi the dog, who came out from under the bed long enough to pose with the purse and her stuffed hot dog.


Gigi recommends the following sites for pet lovers: I Can Has Cheezburger and I Has a Hotdog.

Gigi, working hard

    The lavender bows in Gigi’s hair are just perfect! And that bag is pretty snazzy, too.

    Gigi has such style – just like her owner! And how cool that your husband can mend zips on your designer bags – would he pop across the pond and fix my broken Louboutin heel tip please?!
