Derek Lam Henrietta Tote in Python and Suede

Snob alert! I was told this bag was made in limited editions (only 4-5 will be available!) Get your name on list now– I believe all are spoken for but if you want one they will try to order more from Italy but no promises!!!

I am in love with the Henrietta tote from Derek Lam in lush suede and supple python and think it may be the one for me this season (I just read that the economic crisis is actually driving women to buy luxury bags!  Now I have a legitimate defense when my hubby complains about my bag habit.  “Honey, don’t stress me out with talk of bad economy, I’ll have to buy another bag!”).  This gorgeous tote is as luxurious as a bag can get.  If you have ever owned an exotic from Derek you know that he uses top quality skins with meticulous stitching and workmanship– look how the python blends seamlessly with the suede, it’s as if they were always one.  The Henrietta tote is a timeless style with Derek Lam’s signature edginess– at once soft and tough, framed by minimal hardware.  The front pocket with functional side flap is another Derek Lam signature as is the tassle that lightens up the bag– it’s saying, take me to work if you must but don’t forget cocktail hour! 

Derek’s Fall 09 bags are generating lots of attention– every time I open a magazine I see one dangling off the shoulder of a young starlet (they seem to be staring back at me and taunting me with “look what I have and you don’t”).  Well I’m gonna get this before anyone, I’ve got my name on the first one that comes through the door at the Derek Lam boutique!  So, take that girls! 

Call Wayne at 212-966-1616 or email him about this to die for bag (around 14″ wide).  Oh, and do you want to know how much it is?  A mere $1,750.  For a beautifully made python and suede bag!  Total bargain, I know.  Hurry and call Wayne before it sells out and ends up on Kate Moss’ arm.  (Don’t forget to help me choose my birthday dress from Derek Lam!)


Is it me or is Leighton laughing at me? I love the Harriet shoulder bag she’s sporting, it’s jaguar print haircalf, lambskin and python– $1,390 at Derek Lam Boutique @ 12 Crosby.  Again, call Wayne at 212-966-1616 or email him
