Call me baby! Telephone bag by Betsey Johnson

Betseyville by Betsey Johnson 'Call Me, Betsey' Phone Satchel

Ring ring ...

Hellooo! Fabulous bag calling, pick up pick up.

I am a sucker for kitschy handbags. I have a bag that looks like a Chinese takeout box, a bag made out of a vintage book, even a bag that looks like a killer rack. Even with all of those crazy bags in my closet, I still have room for a few more. I think I will start with this bag from Betsey Johnson.

Betsey Johnson is having a little more fun with her Betseyville handbag collection by throwing this telephone bag into the mix. The purse has a detachable toy phone at top, a faux cord, and a dial design stitched onto the front.

The bag comes in teal, black, purple, or pink and will only set you back $65. A small price to pay for a lot of fun if you ask me.
