    Wow. I love it. But you know, I recently got a uniquely designed bag then realized after ordering it that it’s so distinctive I won’t be able to mix it with other distinctive accessories. It seems like a solid bag is more versatile. But maybe I’m being too conservative 🙂

      Why can’t you carry the bag as your sole distinctive accessory that day? You don’t have to wear multiple distinctive accessories at once. Sometimes plain shoes and a crazy bag are good, sometimes it’s vice versa!

        Yes. It was just that I was thinking of one bag as part of the uniform, not as an accessory.

    The colors remind me of George Clinton’s hair. Which if you ask me is an awesome fashion statement to make. Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop even.

    Quite the amazing bag. I have a few items in my closet from Frock, which will be with me forever.

    Embracing colour is good for the soul. Can you believe the London situation???

    Amazing bag! I am usually the dull bag lady, but I love this one.

    It is, indeed, a glory to behold.

    NYers and chronic-black-wearers like me SHOULD take note. But as I sit here typing away, again in all-black, and having just ordered another black leather handbag, I fear there is no hope for me. But then again, I really don’t care!

    Great bag and your are right about wearing it with black; well everything looks better with black!
