The Devil Wears Prada - Long Shot Q!

Miss Fluff

Hey, I watched the Devil Wears Prada at the weekend and since then I am quite literally obsessing over a handbag that Merly Streep threw on the desk. It is in a segment where it shows her coming in each day and throwing her coat and bag on the desk of her assistant so in all there are about 10 different handbags. There is one that I absolutely adore. Green crocodile and panneled leather with a solid metal handle and I positively have to know who the designer is or I shall burst. I know Patricia Field did wardrobe and I have Googled it etc but to no avail. Any ideas? Anyone know of a website dedicated to wardrobe info for the film? Any help hugely appreciated!

the most popular bag from the film is the brown one andy wears so most searches will bring up that one. the bag on the desk may be a fendi or a marc jacobs? it would be last season by now but a search might brin gup som ephotos. websites such as www.netaporter.com might have something like it?

The one Siogfinsceal is talking about is the Patricia Field bag that she designed specifically for the movie. It's the one Andrea wears when she goes to the party and meets that writer dude for the first time.

I don't have the dvd with me at the moment so can't check out the bag for you, but I will when I get it back.

You could try www.asseenonscreen.com which can sometimes throw up really obscure but good stuff.

Otherwise have you tried going on to the websites of some of the most famous bag designers? It's a bit of a long shot, but a lot of the bags in the film were either Fendi, Balenciaga, Prada or Marc Jacobs, so you could try their sites and see if they have it (or even anything similar).

Oddly enough, my lovely boyfriend just had a really good suggestion for what you could do - if you write in to a magazine like Heat or Now, and describe the bag as much as you possibly can then they'll probably be able to tell you who made the bag and if you can still get it.

That's def worth a shot - I'd imagine there'd be a really good chance that they'd be able to tell you exactly what bag it was. Good luck!

Miss Fluff

That's a brilliant idea, thanks! Have been unlucky in my searches so they will probbaly be more than happy to hunt it down for me, thanks!:)

I wonder if it's the Fendi Spy one? I'm trying to remember all the bags that she had - and I definitely remember a Fendi Spy bag. Was it a larg(ish) shoulder bag (not massive), in a semi-circular/moon/crescent shape? Did the flap have another smaller semi-circle (which is actually a little purse) with a long (quite phallic) strap to hold it closed?

I bought this one in NY last year - mine was in red - and is a croc-type leather - but also has panels of sequins too as well as weave-type leather. Mine was a fake though - but it's so lovely - I've had a lot of comments about it (not just from friends, but from shop assistants etc too).

I've found a pic of the bag - is it this one?

I take your point! The image came out very small on that one!

These images might be a little better:

MissFluff, I'm looking at the dvd now and am wondering which part of the "throwing down the handbags" bit are you talking about? There's a few different bits of it, the bit where she throws the handbags in a row, or they have a gap between each (it's all in the space of 2 or 3 mins.
