Have you ever seen anything cuter than these baby whale (a.k.a. calf) and piglet
change purses ($250)? Well, they would be the cutest if it weren’t for the Gucci monogram, but in this case I don’t even mind. I have always held a soft spot for pigs, (that’s my Chinese zodiac sign), but little Moby Dick with his three-dimensional fins is totally precious! The piggy’s zipper pull, doubling as a curly tail is pretty adorable, too. The well-positioned zipper, with a seam serving as the perfect spot for a mouth, only adds to the charming effect.
At four inches in length, they’re a substantial size, making them quite useful for change, knickknacks, and whatnot. I love both so much – they are like little pets for my tote. And even though I’m not in need of yet another pouch in my bag (the coin compartment in my wallet is enough), I might be tempted to make exception out of pure emotional attachment.
I think they stole my idea: http://www.etsy.com/listing/73439802/mini-whale-wall-poetry
I actually saw the 2011 Monogram canvas
in person yesterday, and it was gorgeous! I loved that the handles weren’t stiff and that they could be adjusted to the length you wanted them to be. The bag was definitely spacious and I would consider it comparable to the Louis Vuitton Beverly
by Louis Vuitton. I also liked the bag much better in brown than in vanilla.
