Fashion Herald has a recent post about Lucky Bags. I’ve never owed one, or really seen anything that caught my eye until my beloved Nancy Botwin on Weeds started carrying around a beautiful slouchy hobo Lucky Bag. So of course now I want this bag so I can be just like Nancy (minus the selling pot part…).
UPDATE: I do have this bag!
Before I even had a chance to post this entry I happened to pop into the Filene’s Basement on Sixth Ave and there was Nancy Botwin’s bag in a black and white patchwork pattern. It was love at first sight and I bought it for far less than the listed price. So far it is a great bag with my only complaint being that it only has one pocket in the inside. (I know I sound like a broken record on the pocket thing, but seriously why can’t designers get this right?) I love how slouchy this bag is, the metal hardware, how comfortable it is to carry and most off all the patwork pattern in different shades of black and grey.
wow, congrats, I love that slouchy hobo! and thanks for the lucky bags mention.
the second one is very nice where i can get them?
I love slouchy hobos, they look fab and they fit almost anything. Great shopping bag. This one is my personal favorite, so perfect for fall – http://www.jennywashere.com/Collection/2008/fall-winter/houdini-hobo.aspx
There’s nothing better than getting the bag you want for a bargain price. I agree with you about pockets – bags should have as many as possible.
We just made a new bag just like this one, but much cheaper, its my new favorite too!

I have a new ‘lucky’ bag! I started my online boutique 2 months ago and found this line called Jane Marvel. I carry her satchel bag all the time and it’s my new lucky bag.
I’ve had this bag in all black for about a year now and absolutely love love love it! I get complements on it all the time.
Hey, that nancy bag totally looks like the Linea Pelle bags that I love! I just found out they’re having a sale on HauteLook and all their fall merch is discounted like 60%!!!! I cannot wait. Just thoguht I would share
Wow that is a gorgeous bag! =D I LOVE the grey and black patchwork pattern. It gives me a really cozy yet chic feel. Was it really expensive?

Oh I absolutely love hobo bags esp. white ones!
I love your bag so much more that hers. I’m also glad you were fortunate to find one like hers for less(:
It’s good to have that lucky bag with styles that fits ones personality.
