RE: Handbag Clutter
It has come to my attention that you are hoarding handbags. I am currently stuffed with four shabby hobos, six worn-out shoulder bags, eight used and abused clutches, three company logo totes, and one frayed jute beach bag. This situation requires immediate action.
Please give your undivided attention to the Magnes Sisters, a trio that designs impeccable purses.
Each one is named after a martini: The Classic refreshes in warm-weather neutrals with retro floral lining. The Dry, a smart zippered clutch that doubles as a shoulder bag, goes down easy in fetching tones. The spacious Dirty, with specially designed hardware, is a tempting mix of pretty and practical.
Each bag is so smart, you could get away with owning just one — meaning you can throw those useless numbers out.
Next on the agenda: everything that’s too risque for casual Friday.

I recently discovered a NYC-based handbag line called Magnes Sisters, which does beautiful clean, modern bags that are influenced by vintage elegance. Launched by the talented trio of sisters Dina, Yael and Tamar, they create bags with the on-the-go city gal on the mind, exclusively utilizing “designed hardware, sumptuous Italian leather, vintage wools and playful silky linings” as well as “detachable straps, multiple pockets, and a keychain” — to maximize function and design.
My favorite from their collection is the Dry Martini bag; it’s also a favorite of model Eugenia Silva, as shown in a recent issue of Elle. Available in 6 hues (try Plum or Platinum), this clutch is made of supple Italian leather. The slight pleating and bean-shaped handle creates interest for the eye, but keeps the bag looking clean and sophisticated.
