There is nothing like carrying a luxurious, high-quality handbag. But to give you an idea of the sheer bliss it brings, it could be comparable to wearing the most expensive perfume, the perfect shade of the finest lipstick and wearing the highest heels- with ease- while spending the day doing whatever your pretty little heart desires while eating the yummiest chocolate on earth! All luxuries we’d love to indulge in daily but due to our crazy lives as moms, we don’t have the opportunity or the means to do so.
A handbag, however, is always easy to carry. A quality brand will last for years to come. One with a classic shape will be passed down to future generations. Wearing a luxury handbag always gives you a feeling of glamour and joy. What could be a better investment?
I was given the amazing opportunity to choose any handbag available from the new luxury handbag designer, Ralston. Let me tell you, it was not an easy pick. I wanted something classic, with plenty of space and quite honestly, not boring. I found the perfect one in the Cindy Crocodile Pattern handbag. The croc pattern is stunning and gives the edginess that I like. I can see my daughter using this bag many years down the road. It will be like the feature in the back of Lucky Magazine: My Mom, the Style Icon. Ohh, I can hardly wait…
About Cindy:
- Stylish exterior zipper-pockets at base of handbag (fun and practical!)
- Metal feet protect bottom of the bag
- Gold tone hardware
- Very structured but with use, the leather will soften
- Great interior space
- Interior sunglass pocket, cell phone pocket
- Long handles for optimal comfort when worn on shoulders
- I own the Espresso Brown, which is deep and rich in color
It’s not always possible to spend your money on accessories but I’m learning (and have to keep re-learning) that buying quality is better than buying quantity. Save your birthday cash and skip the fast food so you can afford a beautiful handbag that will be a lifetime piece!
Ralston is debuting in NYC at Henri Bendel from April 29-May 1st or you can order online at RalstonHandbags.com.

I love the Aspen because of the textural aspect of it. Thanks.
I love the Aspen bag! The handles are adorable and the bag looks really warm! Could it double as a muff?

I like the Lara Smooth Texture. It is a wonderful size and has just enough decoration to make it interesting, not too over the top.

I visited Handbago website and I want Lara Wavy Texture in white color
I know that it will just sound like an attempt to suck up, but I actrually love the Raquel bag and would choose that one. I love the size – if I was out with my daughter, I could easily stick a container of wipes and extra diaper in there (NOT that I would use this as a diaper bag!). The handles seem to be long enough that I could wear it on my shoulder and I love the structured look. I feel like it’s something that would easily transition from office (if I go back to one!) to chic restaurant. And since I don’t generally favour gold hardware, it’s a great choice in that regard.

Lilly medium Diamond was my favorite! It is a classy, but not too showy bag that looks practical for a mother of four!! All the bags are beautiful!
