I soon found out that the chic French version of the States' L.L. Bean Boat and Tote was by French Designer Vanessa Bruno. Here's a peek....
What a similar look, for a fraction of the price! And if are intrigued by this sequin look too, but would like a bag that is priced more mid range, why not try this beautiful tote by MZ Wallace?
I just may have splurged on this for myself over the holidays!
Happy Shopping!
