Why not sport a bag that is a little bit educational too? Wonder what I am talking about don't ya? Well I am sure many of you have seen Prima Classe by Alviero Martini Handbags. But like me, you may not have known that was the designer of the bag. Now you will. You know the bags that have the world all over them- literally, well these are them. As much as the all over world pattern is different and cute, it doesn't fully do it for me. That is why I am deciding to show you the Prima Classe Top Zip Shoulder Bag by Alviero Martini. Made of vacchetta leather with a map printed laminated cotton canvas trim, this bag shows off a bit of the world with enough simplicity that I can tolerate it. There are dual shoulder straps and a full top zip closure. I really love the gold tone hardware which nicely shows off the beige map trim and the white leather (along with a cute shape). On the inside you will find lining with a back wall zip pocket. The dimensions are a roomy 14" wide x 6" deep x 7 1/2" high. Grab it really quickly on sale (until Friday the 9th) for $249.94 via Zappos (marked down from $413.95).

Does the map do it for you?

This bag is actually one of their cuter ones. I don't care for their map bags, but there are a few people in my family that do, and I have been searching high and low for a store that carries them.

Thank you for the post.

A large relaxed bag for sauntering vacation shopping trips

when I don't want to look 'industrial,' like a woman on a mission.

The map detail is cute. But still doesn't do it for me...Sorry...

Not into the map and it's a bit bland for some reason.

I really liked the maps designs of Alviero Martini's bag and I still do until I bought a bag with the shoes and realized how poor the quality of the leather is...

Never did and I don't think it will. I'll keep my maps to mapquest/gps only...
