Birthday: Judith Leiber

Remembering fashion designer, Judith Leiber , who was born on January 11, 1921.  She passed away in Yr 2018. Owning one of her made-to-order Minaudière / evening bags --  particularly the very cute one below -- is on my bucket list.  The question remains: wouldn't I rather buy a real  Frenchie pup? Thus, choice B, LoL.

I have a few customers who have two or three hundred bags. When you see a lady carrying a little dog bag or a little cat bag or an egg, it makes you happy. --- Judith Leiber

PC: Neiman Marcus

The Judith Leiber boutiques are exclusive as there are only four in the world. They are located in New Delhi, Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. However, some of her collection is available at selected fashion stores like Neiman Marcus, Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford, Holt Renfrew and Harrods -- wikipedia

Prada: Saffiano Garden Floral Bag

 Needed to run into Costco for last-minute items. Too many people during Holiday season! I needed to get out of there, stat. However, I saw this Prada beauty sitting by their Jewelry section (chained, of course), and had to take a closer look. That's my son's hand caressing this pretty bag for comparison purposes.  

If this bag is the same as the bag on the Neiman Marcus website, then one is indeed saving a lot of money by shopping thru Costco. There is simply no comparison: $800 vs $2100, wow!

Here is the Prada bag that is being sold by Neiman Marcus for $2100
