Designer Handbags Page: A Daily Purse Calendar
You know you are a true handbag addict when you don’t settle for the classic plain daily desk calendar, but rather a calendar book filled with pages and pages of designer purses.

314 pages filled with colorful beautifully photographed designer clutches, purses, totes, and bags, with Saturday and Sunday on a shared page.

Who’s in there? The elegant: Judith Leiber’s leather appliqué envelope pouch. The bohemian: Hogan’s fringed shoulder bag. The befeathered: Moo Roo’s “Fancy Foo” evening bag. The playful: Stella McCartney’s “Softrock style” guitar-shaped bag. Plus Kate Spades and Will Hardys, Moschinos, Puccis, Fendi Baguettes, and antique bags galore.

A great stocking stuffer or side gift for your beloved fashion friends.

I just ordered mine… I have to wait until January 1st! Bummer.
