I am absolutely delighted with a new bag. I like how they feel in my hands and how the colors attract my eyes. It is important that the bag resonates with that new quality. I need a new bag not because it is stretchy, but because I will infuse it with my own energy. I usually coordinate my bag with my mood. Right now, I carry a bright green crochet bag with copper crystal beads adorning it. It’s my gypsy look. Lately I have been reading many self-help books and walking in the hot summer sun. I feel like a child again, just one who is adorned with more wisdom, like the pretty beads that hang from my bag. The quality of the fabric of the bag symbolizes the web of coincidences that have become the tangle of my life. The yarn colors are appropriate in an earthy brown color. I feel like I am connecting more with myself. The bright green color of the bag is crocheted into a fine straw, emphasizing my desire to really live my life and enjoy the efforts of my work. I am a woman with one foot in the ethereal world and my bag reflects these good feelings. Kathy Van Zeeland bags embody this sentiment.
I recently received a beautiful copper colored Kathy Van Zeeland bag, and it is really cute and functional. There is a pocket with a heart-shaped lock on the front of the bag, a smaller pocket for a cell phone on the right, and a flap on the back that is covered in a stylish alligator back design. It is a small bag. I have not yet decided where to take this bag. I don’t venture out on special occasions too often, certainly for the price of gas and everything else. However, I hope I can carry it. It’s a bit too flashy for my evening walks, and I certainly don’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself. I can still hear my grandmother’s voice reprimanding me not to carry shiny metallic bags because someone will definitely try to snatch them from me.
Still, this bag makes me happy. I’m starting to feel like a superstar in his presence. It is one of those bags that will make you want to celebrate something, anything. I keep it here on my desktop to see and touch every day. The copper glows in the light of my desk lamp. I find myself daydreaming about the future I hope to claim. I think Kathy Van Zeeland must have been thinking about how happy she would make people who carry her nice shiny handbags. They are not cheap knockoffs. They are the real deal. Lots of pockets and convenient places to store my cash, keys, makeup, and important things. I think they capture a certain mystique and magic.
