The other day I pulled out a merino wool handbag that I don’t carry very often, but I love it for spring, especially Easter. It was made in Ireland by Boyne Valley Weavers and actually, I have two – one in vibrant purple and one in natural. I think this color is a standout.
Something else unique about this bag, the satin bow tie. How charming is that? I remember my mother telling me that I had to tie the ribbon as that’s what made the bag unique. I agree, and so I always do tie the ribbon into a nice big bow.
Bows are huge this season. Designers were showing bows all over the runways and now we see them on shoes, barrettes, gloves, embroidered onto fabric, anywhere a bow can go. So, I’ll do my subtle nod to the trend with my wool handbag from Ireland.
