it was inspired by a costume national (sp?) bag. i just learned this last week when i was sorting through nicole ritchie pics. she's shown wearing that bag.
Haha - I bought mine as a "buy it now" I swear I didn't steal your bag ... haha
I did get it - but haven't even taken it out of the dust cover yet...I was thinking of saving it for after the baby - when I don't look like a house. But I'll take it out tonight - inspect it and give you a full report!
I have that bag and I love it. I get tons of compliments. It holds alot and struff gets lost but I am pretty unorganized. It has held up well I am usually hard on purses. I got the Ivory color and it still looks great. I like that color too. Hope you love yours as much as I do mine.
