Every woman in New York seems to have this bag or one that looks like it.  Everyday I see a handful of woman carrying this on the train.  Black is the most popular color, but I have also seen it in bright red, blue, orange, and many more.  The original is a Longchamp tote, cost about $150 +/-, but I think most of what I saw on the street are knockoffs.  I don’t find this bag very appealing personally.  But I can see why women like it.  It is big enough to carry a few things, an extra pair of shoes, a jacket, a scarf, etc.  It is just interesting how my eyes just lock right onto this bag; I am kind of looking forward to the day when I don’t “see” it any more.  It is just a little game I play with myself everyday, to keep the train ride interesting, I count how many Longchamp tote I saw each day, on each ride.
