Rainy Weather & Snow Handbags: Ted Baker Patent Shopper

Recent weather around the world has caused me to put all my high-end designer bags into storage until dryer days are here again.  Good leather just gets stained with ice and snow, or weather beaten.  The solution: Pleather.  Yes, pleather, a word the The New York Times previously associated with The Recessionista.  And, pleather has never suited me so well as now.  Pleather is nice word for faux leather made with PVC or plastic. The first time I saw a pleather bag I could love it was the Jelly Bag. Later, the Anya Hindmarch bags for Target bought pleather to stylish new heights.  Now, I have discovered a  new stylish pleather bag for winter storm weather: Ted Baker’s ‘Bow Ikon’ Patent Shopper bag (pictured above), now on sale at ASOS $67.00 US.   I saw the bag in-store yesterday and my heart skipped a beat.  What a fashionable solution to winter woes.  You can use it as a laptop tote, handbag, travel bag or even a chic wine carrier.  Shoppers who have purchased the bag have given it good reviews.  Check out the chic little bow on the left side.  Pleather never looked finer!

As the rain and snow contain to fall, look for pleather totes on clearance at Macy’s,Nordstrom and Target.
