Wasn't someone looking for interesting clear purses? I came across this
on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3445201962&category=45229
However... it is, IMHO, crazy–expensive for something like that! Not my
auction, not affiliated, blah blah, yatta yatta yatta.

Having said that, the clear purse looks like something I could get for
free for joining the History Book Club.

love it. But it is not one of the clear bags like in the auction. It's a
large tote with a map design all over it, and leather handles and trim.
The body of the tote is that coated canvas material. I use it a lot for
travel or whenever I need a large bag – which isn't often anymore, these
days.
The label on my tote says Prima Classe and then inside it's stamped with
Alviero Martini and some other stuff (serial number, probably – I never
really examined it too closely, cause it's inside on the lining). I
haven't seen them at too many stores locally, but I got mine in a
Bloomingdale's and IIRC that's the only store I've seen to carry them.
Before I bought mine I actually had no idea what the name of the brand
or designer was and I always referred to them as "map bags". I still
call mine my "map bag" – after all it is the only bag I have with a map
pattern on it so it's apt.
The bags *are* pretty pricey, so that the auction listing says the clear
thing sells for $262 or whatever, is only surprising because that bag
is just clear plastic. IME most of the styles are in the $200 and up
price range.

Heehee!
something about clear purses. My MIL works retail and has to carry a
clear purse to work. I bet she'd really like that map thing, it's nicer
than what she normally uses. I'd consider getting it for her maybe if it
was like 1/3 the price they're asking, but I'm still boggled at the idea
of $100+ for that!

kind of opaque brightly colored jelly kelly as something I could carry on
occasion in the rain or snow/sleet weather and not have to worry about
ruining it. As someone else said, I think a large one would be great for
summer boating excursions.
I'd love to be able to find an opaque patterned jelly kelly (such as a
deep red and gold or silver and blue paisley for the holidays, among tons
of others patterns and color combos I can think of)! Why hasn't anyone
come up with those yet?? Or maybe they have and I haven't been looking in
