Meet the Kate Spade Workbag and The Burberry Hobo, Our First Big Girl Bags

Ep. 13

Rachel and Stephanie take a deep dive into their first big girl bags. For Stephanie it was the Burberry hobo bag she bought after saving up for it while working in Washington D.C for a boss who encouraged her to reward herself for a job well done. Rachel purchased the oversized Kate Spade black nylon bag from Bloomingdales in New York City while working in magazine publishing. Rachel felt a bit like Mary Tyler Moore back in the late 1990s for having made it after all and having the iconic working girl bag to prove it. Rachel and Stephanie discuss the meaning behind these bags and wonder where those bags have in fact ended up all these years later.
