I think perhaps I need to start a BB's Shopping SoWal page!
If you are looking for handbags I found the best bags ever at The Watercolor Store. I always thought they just had Watercolor stuff....BUT NOOOOOO!!! They have grayt TANO handbags, wallets and clutches. If you are not familiar with TANO they are a wonderful line of butter soft leather goods in all colors.
Gorgeous Pearls and other jewelry. There is a jewelry designer that takes flowers from Greece and dips them in gold and silver making beautiful rings, necklaces & bracelts.
The graytest linen skirts, tops & dresses! I bought the chocolate bias cut skirt( loved it so much I have to have it in all colors) long sleeveless tunic tops and these wonderful linen dresses in chocolat & black!!!
They are located on the south side of Thirty A in Watercolor, turn at the 4-way stop it is next to the Orvis Store and past The Barefoot Princess.
Go see 'em!! They have the most funn staff ever! I especially love the greeters! ;-)

This is the one I bought it is called Le Vie En Rose, I love the names. Jdarg would love it, 'cause it is so big FFF and I were loading up in the car for a ROAD TRIP weekend before last and I saw him put it in the trunk, I said "Why are you putting my purse in the trunk?!' He looked kinda puzzled (you know, where they kinda look like huh, what, huh?) and said "I thought that was a piece of luggage." :idontno: :funn:

Tano - The Boogie and Up Close and Personal (http://www.bagsnob.com/2008/08/tano_the_boogie_and_up_close_a.html)
http://www.bagsnob.com/images2008/tano_upclosehttp://www.bagsnob.com/images2008/tano_boogiebucket
Left: Up Close and Personal (http://www.musthavebag.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=344&category=0); Right: Boogie Bucket (http://www.musthavebag.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=171&category=0)
This is a rare moment on Bag Snob when we feature a bag EVERYONE can afford. I do apologize for not being considerate enough to offer affordable options in my Back To School (http://www.bagsnob.com/2008/08/back_to_school_basics.html) story but you must now forgive me because I do aim to please =) I have seen Tano bags at Fred Segals and it always catches my eye for its styles, they are hip, friendly, young and have great colors, but it's the quality that gets me. They are extremely well priced, like I mean, couple hundred bucks cheap, so you have to figure that something's gotta give. The leather is thin-ish which is fine because it makes it lighter but the interior is unfinished, which I cannot stand. The slight gloss on some of the leather looks good from far but is far from good, you know the type. The hardware is unpolished, I don't mean they aren't shiny (which they aren't) - hardware is crucial, it should look almost like jewelry (http://www.bagsnob.com/#) but this looks so far from that that it looks like actual hardware from the hardware store. And the standard on anything sewn, no sloppy seams, which this does not meet but it is mostly on the inside, so for the price I guess it might be acceptable to some. You can see why this would normally not make it on to our site but as far as super cheap bags (http://www.bagsnob.com/#) go, this one at least gets major points for design. And for college students, affordable and hip might be all you're looking for. You can find a local retailer on the Tano site (http://www.tanobag.com/stores.cfm) or get them at Must Have Bag which is the only web retailer for them. The Up Close and Personal (http://www.musthavebag.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=344&category=0) with the handy outer pockets is $199, and the Boogie Bucket (http://www.musthavebag.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=171&category=0) (which I like more) is $249. All their bags come in a rainbow variety of colors.

They have some fabulous bags! I am on the hunt for a dark brown one for winter. I also have a wallet that is fabulous, it can also be used as a little clutch for evenings. God knows I could not carry that piece of luggage with a little black dress for dinner.

Tano does make some great bags. We have one boutique close to me (so I don't have to drive into the city) that sells them and I always love to see what they have new. They are reasonably priced too.

They really are well priced. I know they can take phone orders. I'm searching for the brown bag I want giving them the name and "poof" a few days later I have it!

Those are fabulous pearls you are talking about and I absolutely love mine, did you know I got some new ones for my b'day? Love them! I was in the airport in Chicago in July and had on my pearl and pink turqoise you made me and some woman tried to buy it off of me! I told her "Don't touch my pink"
The pearls at the Watercolor Store are not on leather, just fabulous! I have the BIG BAROQUE pearls that are white, they also have them in the grey. Hmmmm, perhaps I need to go back and get the grey too. Oh....jfunn!!! :wave:
Dunelover, Miss Kitty and I would probably be hilarious shopping together, but I'm really not sure what you would call my shopping style. Running amuck comes to mind. :biggrin:

We discussed the difference in Fay and Gustav...so much evacuation and worry for the people of LA, which hopefully will log on to sowal.com and maybe go shop at the WaterColor Store! I like our decision, but do believe that the storm chaser has itchy fingers. :biggrin:

They are handmade so you may want to call ahead and make sure they have them or she can special order them I'm sure.
I wish! I just love the store, the owners and all the grayt gulls that work there. They really have some wonderful things. Lot's of handmade unusual jewelry.

Mangy, I think your yo-yo's and stuff would fit just fine in that bag. Don't you just love the color? I dont' think I've ever had a bag in that color. (wonder if it smells like blueberries? now that would be awesome.)
I thought I loved the first one in all white, until I saw the one with moss now that one is my favorite too. Is 18" big enough to go around my seahorse door knocker? I'm going to hang it over the door knocker, 'cause that big ole' wrought iron thing is not budging.
