I watched a short video the other day (online) about the designer Marc Jacobs talking and Louis Vuitton. He was promoting the competition, which I thought quite funny! To be honest I’m a fan of both designer brand names, and own more than a few purses from both. In point of fact I’m hoping to visit a Marc Jacobs outlet in a couple of weeks, if for no other reason that I’d like a new purse for work.

Luckily I’m not like some of my girlfriends, that find that they need a work bag that will also hold their laptop or netbook. I just need one for carry a file or two, my cell phone and a few other bits and pieces. My current one is a little old (and tired!) now as I’ve been using it for the last couple of years. This one was given to me by my sister, as she’d bought it and rarely used it. She was having a bit of a clear out and I got lucky.

Anyway, as I said it’s a little on the over-worked side now and as I need to meet clients as a part of my working day, I think it’s time I bought a new designer handbag that kind of completes my ‘professional’ appearance. Hopefully I’ll find exactly what I’m looking for, within a reasonable price range. I am expecting to part with a few hundred dollars or more for the right purse but I see it as an investment so that aspect doesn’t bother me too much. The hardest part is going to be making sure I come out of the store with one purse, and one purse only!
