Now I know SJP has nannies, which make it easier to do everything. I’m more than a little jealous about that. However, she looks like a hands-on mom, which is always good to see.

Now, about that bag! She’s carrying a Jérôme Dreyfuss “Twee Mini” from the spring/summer collection. It retails at about $550. You can pick one up at the new Jérôme Dreyfuss boutique in SoHo, or visit the website.

Nor do I stick only to extremely high-priced bags, two in my current collection are designer lines by Target. I have a black Gucci bag that is circa 1988, that my mother brought back from Italy when she was an international flight attendant for TWA, as well as a 1989 LV bag that came from Paris. I don’t carry these, however, because I would die if something spilled on them.
