Move Over Birkin

Move over Hermes Birkin, a new high-end ladies handbag is about to give you a whole lot of competition. International champagne giant Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin calls it the "Clicquot Traveler." This fabulous new clutch is designed to hold your most prized travel companions: two custom designed champagne flutes and a 750ml bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label champagne. AND...brace yourself...not only do the Cliquot Travelers function as on-the-go champagne coolers, but if you toss out the "cooling neoprene" they double as stylish handbags, vanity cases, and weekend totes.

I know exactly what you're thinking...."Oh my gaaaawwwd! I SO need a new Cliquot Traveler!"

Priced at $50.00, the Traveler is available at Costco and other high-falutin' white trash stores while supplies last.

And for those "women on the go" who are watching their budgets in these recessionary times, the Gallo Family presents this rather bulky yet affordable wine purse. Calling it an "easy to carry handbag equivalent to 2 bottles of wine," this unfortunately designed purse/box retails for a mere $22.95. However, unlike the Cliquot Traveler, this one does not double as a evening handbag (unless, of course, you require nothing for your evening but cheap wine at the ready).
