Yvette's Anonymous

Hello, my name is Cynthia. I am an accessories addict.

During the last several days, my place of work has been overrun by Yours by Yvette bags. There are hundreds of purses--some, feathered; some, swathed in raw silk; others, covered in beads. All, exquisite. When my employer's friends come over to peruse, they are beside themselves. How can they possibly choose just one? Or two? Or four?

I know exactly how they feel.

So I chose five.

This one is called "Monarch." It's a summer's dream of handwoven cane, leatherette, bugle beads and colored stones.



This is "Paradise," a floral tapestry of gold-tone pewter, glass beads, stones and raw-edged silk.






"Coconut Grove" is an oasis of beads, with ornaments of jade and mother-of-pearl.




These other two have no names--at least, none that I can find on the Internet. But to paraphrase the Bard, what's a purse by any other name, if it looks just as sweet?
