Mary Poppins Obsession

I'm back from NYC and am ready to blog again! WE had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. (We missed the snow storm) We shopped and shopped, then ate and ate some more and then somehow found time to go and see Mary Poppins! It was so great and I would suggest it to anyone. While I was watching MP, I found myself becoming inspired by the costumes and realizing that I had some interesting color combinations I wanted to use as well as her amazing upholstery bottomless bag! (Many times I feel like my current bag is bottomless when I'm searching for my ringing cell phone.) However, I would love to have MP's bag and probably wouldn't get frustrated while searching for my phone solely because the bag would be so cool. So I of course go home and search for similar MP bags and here is what I found...

This is my favorite print of Elliot Mann's Bag Collection, priced at $275. All of the fabric is sourced from Asia, Nepal, and Peru. Each has a very cool history of either coming from a Monk's robe, couch, or curtains.
To get even better, the handles are adjustable!! They're so magical that I might even be able to pull a lamp from the bag if I'm so lucky...
I also found a bag from Gucci's tapestry collection from last Fall on ebay...
Thank you, Mary Poppins!
