What a gorgeous fall we’ve been having so far! There’s color on the trees and the ground, and the sunny days of 60 degrees or more are very much appreciated. Speaking of color… I can’t help but crave bright hues, year-round in fact, and instantly gravitated toward this Moni Moni messenger bag, which comes in orange, green, navy, burgundy, tan, black, and brown for spring 2012.
If you aren’t familiar with the brand, Moni Moni has celebrity fans, such as Hallie Berry sporting their bags, all boasting superior quality, great color selection, and are made in Italy. Indeed, my bag has a great hand to it, and it reminds me of the luxe leather goods found at the San Lorenzo Market in Florence. Lifting the flap, you’ll find a plethora of toiletries, a newspaper, a water bottle, sunglasses, lipsticks, my camera case, and a scarf and gloves placed into the roomy main compartment. The exterior pocket is the perfect size and location for quick and easy access to my cell phone, while the lower pouch is a great option when your bag has begun to fill up and you need a substantial amount of space to fit in one more thing! This particular Moni Moni Monique Messenger style retails at $499, and is available at MoniMoni.com.
