Is it just me, or does it seem like every other celebrity these days is carrying a Gerard Darel handbag? Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba just to name a few.
At first glance you wouldn’t see anything special in the style or construction of these big ‘carry alls’; you’d probably even think that it’s just a simple everyday bag that can add a punch of color( the colored versions are the most popular- but I love the brown bags) to your outfit while carrying a mass of stuff.
But, Oh there so much more, like the fact that they are French made – I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but they’re main showroom is right down the street from my apartment on Rue Reaumur and I always pass by starry eyed and all ( most wishing i had the super power to suck clothing through glass walls! …patehtic, I know, but so much fun!) – I have to post a pic of it later.
They’re using Charlotte Gainsbourg( daughter of French Singer/Icon Serge Gainsbourg) as their new model in their ads.
