Noted by handbag historians, all women, and some men:
When Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint were fleeing the baddies down Mt. Rushmore in North by Northwest, she held on more tightly to her handbag, than Cary.
And she wasn't even carrying this hand's free handbag, which would have made her priorities much simpler.
I found it in Florence, Italy, on Via Santa Spirito in a small leather shop where you inhale the unmistakable scent before you walk in.
Shoulder Strap Pouch Handbag (No. 2600). Your sense of touch is not overlooked either. Leather is so soft, it's called "Silk Leather." All hardware is brass. Zipper with leather pull. The perfect size. Very light. Very comfortable. No shoulder strain. Made in Italy.
Dimensions: 91/2" tall. 9" wide. 3/4" deep. Strap extends from 201/2" to 39".
Color: Brown.
