So I just watched with a covetous cuor as my gorgeously classy grandma nonchalantly passed down to her teenage great-granddaughter one of her many prized purses (yes, your Syd comes from a long line of bag ladies), an amazing MCM I've been ogling for, oh, about 17 years. This Mode Creation Munich piece for which I got the good ol' passover got me thinking ... and shopping for my own MCM, natch.

Purse pundits say MCM is slated to make a big comeback in the coming year, though I've borne witness to such banter for quite some time. 

While MCM remains ever popular on the eastern edges of the Western World, their pieces are a bit harder to come by 'round these parts, but ... behold: at my beloved Bloomingdales, a perfect plethora of MCM pieces!

Some of Syd's faves ...

 This Alda Silky Patent Studded Satchel:

 Ooooh, and this Love Letter to bag lovers in blue ...

 Last, but certainly not least, this Pop Brocade Camera Bag!

Perfection, says this photographer! I simply had to snap one up!

Love Grandma's purse and all of its sentimental contents, but this bag is beautiful ... and befiitting!
