Lederer de Paris - New York City, 1992

I got this lovely Lederer bag the year after I came back from Paris for the first time. I saw someone walking down the street with it, knew I had to have it (you can see why), and wrote to the store manager saying that I felt my life was but a farce without it. He graciously wrote back saying that he'd be happy to give me one and that there was no disgrace in asking for professional help.
