I Showed My 56-Year-Old Mom 33 It Bags—These Are Her Favorites
We’re back, y’all! And by we I mean my mom and me with a new story all about bags. This time, I showed her a whopping 33 It bags and asked her to share her thoughts on her favorites. She also had a lot of feelings about her not-so-favorites, and while I won’t tell you which bags didn’t make her cut, for entertainment’s sake, I’ll tell you that she threw around such phrases as: "hate,” "looks cheap,” "looks like a big box,” and "don’t like at all.” So yeah, it was fun!
Back to the handbags she did like since, thankfully, there was still a lot to choose from (18 to be exact). From new twists on old classics like the above Chanel flap bag in houndstooth and Dior's matte-black update to relatively newer cult labels such as BY FAR and Nanushka, her picks were all across the spectrum, so I'm confident there's something for everyone below. To see, read about, and shop the mom-approved purses, just keep scrolling.
