StyleDash handbag giveaway: Day 12

Posted Sep 28th 2006 at 12:01PM by Brad Hill (Subscribe to Brad Hill's posts)

The StyleDash 30-day handbag giveaway continues! Every weekday, we are giving away a designer handbag to a lucky reader. The emphasis is on "lucky," because we're not asking you to do anything difficult, like wear clashing colors. You just need to drop a comment onto the contest page. We'll select the winner randomly. I'll get to the rules in a minute. First, today's prize:

For our 12th giveaway, we are returning to the Coach Hamptons book tote, pictured here. It's a boxy thing, perfect for carrying Etch-a-Sketch, and it's pricey too -- retail value is $378. Features include a cell phone pocket, lightweight pebbled leather, and a metallic closure apparently swiped from somebody's dog leash. This bag leaves me staring stupidly into space, but my wife loves it. Once again, I will not cheat and get it for her.

The bag could be yours, if you follow these rules:

1) Leave a comment on this post. Doesn't matter what you say. No special consideration is given to listing the book titles you'd carry in this bag, but we could use some literary edification.

2) No duplicates! Identical twins may each enter once. If you try to double-dip we'll catch it.

3) If you win, don't come back for seconds. How many designer handbags do you need? Better not answer that.

4) Prizes will be shipped 30-45 days after the 30-day contest ends. Patience is a virtue.

Today's contest will stay open until noon Tuesday (9/19), when the next giveaway will be posted. Congratulations to Jessica, who won the Cole Haan satchel in Day 11!

Good luck, and thanks for being part of StyleDash!

Anita K. Rankin 9-29-2006 @ 12:02PM

I think I might be first on Day 12!!!
But woe is me, no bag yet - every day, post a comment, get a confirmation, read all the postings to make sure mine is on there, find out someone else won the bag that day. Maybe, just maybe...

That's a cute bag...probably too big for me, but think of all the things I could pack into it!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I dreamt I won a new bag
Please make it come true

I'd like to echo others,
expressing appreciation for this bag's style.
If I had my d'ruthers,
on my arm this bag would produce a cheerful smile.
Inside I'd carry some old favorites, like The Last
Time They Met by Anita Shreve and humorous Open House by
Elizabeth Berg, and to pass along to a thriller fan, the new Killing Rain by Barry Eisler.
But you say the choice is random,
so why do we toil with our posts?
And try and try again
to receive an email from your host?
The answer's very simple.
We're stylish folks, you see.
We click and read and sigh
at the well-read fashionistas we could be!

I am just amazed that you guys keep misspelling the winner's name...it's a-n-g-e-l-a. D!

Amanda 9-28-2006 @ 1:50PM

*crosses fingers* Please!!!!!!! Me!!!!

Melissa Bernais 9-28-2006 @ 1:51PM

Oh, hello. I think you should know that the bag? It wants to come home with me.

Angela Whelchel 9-28-2006 @ 1:52PM

This one is soooooooo my favorite! I love it and it would certainly make my day to win this beautiful book tote!

Kristina Drzaic 9-28-2006 @ 4:50PM

Friend!

Jackie 9-28-2006 @ 1:53PM

Oooooooooooooooooooooh!

Coach!!!

Just in time for my birthday!

Jessica 9-28-2006 @ 1:52PM

It would have been considerate if you had specified that this contest was only open to U.S. readers on day 1 of the contest and not day 11. Being Canadian, and knowing that some contests are only opened to U.S residents I automatically looked for such rules at the begining yet nothing was mentioned. So, I happily took part every day…now my hopes of winning a bag are dashed!

Thanks StyeDash

Please put my wife in Coach. She is ready to play.

Shelley Cantrelle 9-28-2006 @ 1:57PM

C'mon, Brad, I'm running out of clever comments...

Beth 9-28-2006 @ 1:56PM

I am trying to get myself pulled together and go back to work. Finding a purse has been a long ordeal, but this one is perfect! Please, please, oh please......!
