    Hi,

    My name is Dan and I recently watched the movie Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker. At the end of the movie Matt and Sarah are talking in a room they are locked in, and he is tied up. She is caring a light blue handbag, leather, has belt like buckles around the top on each end and silver rings where the straps meet the purse...er bag.

    The reason I am here is because the only comment my girlfriend made during the whole movie was.."that's a really nice bag."

    It is her birthday in two weeks and I think it would be a great surprise if I could get this for her. After downloading the movie, and watching it over and over in slow motion, I can't find a brand name, or anything on it. This is why I need the help of experts like you to let me know what kind of purse this is. After searching on this site the closest I could even begin to think it was, was a Tod's, but I have no idea, no picture looks like it.

    Please help me, I don't have a lot of time, and would really appreciate any help, anyone could give me.

    Sorry for making this so long.

    Thank you for your time

    Dan

    What a fantastic boyfriend you are! The bag is by Salvatore Ferragamo. You could either contact the boutique or major department stores such as Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Here are a few pictures also that some girls on the site posted a while back. I think someone also mentioned that the bag is around $1100. I hope this helps!

    I have looked into that bag as well. I have not seen that color online but Neiman Marcus has an ostrich one and a pewter one online so maybe they have more colors at the store. If they don't have it, I would try and call a Ferragamo boutique.

    You are the second guy today looking to surprise his girlfriend with a handbag. That is great. I hope you manage to find it!

    Dan, Bloomingdale's has this Ferragamo bag in various colors.

    I think the style name is "Gancio"--I have yet to see the bag in that turquoise blue color. Your best bet is to call a Ferragamo boutique since they're familiar with their merchandise and can search for the bag.

    Neiman Marcus also carries Ferragamo, but I have yet to see the bag in that color....

    Here's a link to their store locator:

    Good luck!

    If you are still checking, I just went to NM near me and they had the bag in white and the pewter that is online. I didn't see any other colors. I had the Chanel guy helping me and he mentioned that the bag was "very user-friendly."
