Like shoes, handbags are as much fetish as function, yet a handbag boutique is still a novelty. All the more reason to treasure Blue Bag, 500 square feet of revelatory carryalls from London, St. Tropez, Brazil�wherever owners Pascal and Marni Legrand have been. This is where Kate Moss got boho-embroidered Antik Batik evening bags and Jessica Simpson bought her Bulga �Butterfly� satchel. With 28+ designers, up to 160 two-of-a-kind styles, and Legrand working with the designers, it’s seldom the same store twice. Right now, there are lightweight raffia totes by Sans-Arcidet, collapsible macramé baskets by Ira Salles, and snakeskin clutches by Velveteen.
