Bag Lady: Chain Reaction

They say once you go chain you never go back. Ok. Maybe I said it but, it’s true. I can remember my first chain bag, the Marc Jacobs Quilted Stam bag. Marc and I were inseparable for at least 2 months, until I saw my next door neighbor commit the ultimate sin; buying a knock off version on 5th Avenue. When I got my Lanvin Python Happy Partage last year, I knew this was it. Next thing you know, Lanvin introduced me to Nina Ricci’s Pony Bag. Although I only wore it once, it’s my favorite by far.

Every now and again I like to rearrange my closet: from light to dark colors, in alphabetical order, by fabrics, and even by price. My chain collections never really fell into any of the categories. So, I decided to make a special section for them.

10 nails and 1 hammer later I hung them all up. To my surprise, there was one nail without a bag. I could simply take the nail out and call it a day or buy my latest obsession: the Christian Louboutin Marianna Nappa Hobo.

Later that week, I found myself at Home Depot shopping for more nails.
