okay, I just realized you are looking for handbag suggestions so I suggest something in Epi or Vernis that is red. Perhaps in Epi- Bowling Montaigne(one of my personal favs),Segur,Dhanura,Passy,Jasmin,Soufflet (I love this),or Alma(so classy). Good luck and let us know what you decide.
Rebecca, All good ideas...hmmm...red Soufflet is there such a bag?
