The über cool Colette in Paris is clearly a destination for boutique lovers. The logo—two bold dots—changes color with the seasons. If only to carry a designer bottle of water, this is a bag to own.
My dearest friend, Carole Glaser, has long been a collector of many things, none of them precious. There is the great grouping of candlesticks on her dining table, quirky handmade ceramics in her kitchen, and a most notorious collection of hats and pins. And finally, there is the outstanding collection of shopping bags accumulated over many years. Many of her prized possessions trace the development of graphic and palette preferences as well advertising trends.
