Prada With Pooch

May 30, 2009 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend, jewelry designer Tina Tang, emailed me to say that my Prada handbag addiction has rubbed off on her. Naturally, I instructed her to take a picture of her new purse with one of her dogs. Why? It’s a WendyB tradition! The only thing better than a new handbag is a new handbag with an attractive canine companion. Here’s Bruno.

Bruno with Tina’s purse

Bruno may look like a pit bull to you, but Tina describes him as “an Italian from Queens.”

    I want them both! My labrador and vast family of bags would welcome such additions (to my addictions)!

    SO CUTE, I love your blog darling. 🙁 My boyfriend won’t let me have a dog since he think he will be forced to walk him/her. + Lovely bag to the lucky owner as well!

    KISS, China L.

    Cats work rather well too if you don’t have a god.

    Even with the sweetest pooch it would make me so nervous to put my Prada next to my pup- oh wait, I have neither (and want booth), so I guess it’s moot 😉

    maybe I will have to twit pic you some Coco shots. You seem to be on to something here. Just remember when Miuccia sends you free bags for all the free PR – you have friends in Canada wink wink

    This handsome pooch looks like the charming title character of *That Magnetic Dog,* a fun children’s book.
