your bag says it all. balenciaga (i can afford it). fendi spy (i had it first). chloe (barneys is on speed-dial). but gerard darel? read on.

these newbies are the perfect size, won't cost an arm, and until recently were most likely found in one place: paris. yes, the french have been snapping up these slouchy leather and knit bags ever since they appeared in french vogue last year. oh sure, you might have a friend who toted it back for herself, while all you got were the crappy chocolates. bitch. (pardon our french.) but it's payback time.

low and behold, and right under our eyes gerard darel est ariveé á new york. bergdorf goodman to be exact. but with a limited selection, step on it.

otherwise, all your bag will have to say is:

slow poke.
