This is the promised theme post for handbag-loving single gals. I introduce Luella’s new collection of nautical themed bags. They represent sailing away from an old lover in style … if you wish. Actually, that is a stretch, and these bags go beyond Luella’s “charming” It factor. This Stevie Stripe bag overdoes this Spring’s navy stripes trend. Who said we wanted that on bags? Actually, the design work is, in one view, better than on those body-widening horizontal striped shirts. Imagine that.

At least we get some great negativity, and we all want that on Valentine’s Day!

I’m really coming to feel that Luella has a broken heart (charm). While I do love a nice handbag charm, I’m strict with the term nice, and strict with “handbag,” even (I love handbag-shaped charms). I’ve been thinking a lot lately that Luella’s charms are too childish, too tacky and themed. With this onslaught of these bags with dangling anchors (chuckle) it’s too much, too silly for me.
