The perfect turquoise purse

I apologize in advance for this frivolous post.

I have wanted, and been searching for, the perfect turquoise purse for quite some time. I have looked in so many stores that I lost count. I've found lots of lovely purses (and bought one or two). I had not found *the* purse though - until this weekend.
We went on a mom's getaway this weekend. There were 8 of us mom's but we kind of split into groups of 5 and 3. My friend T was looking for a purse too, and we'd looked in several stores but hadn't found what we were looking for. She stopped at one more before we left, and I didn't even go in. I looked through the window but didn't see anything I really liked. I had given up on finding the purse for now.
BUT - T called me in and I went to see what she had found. She had found the perfect purse! They had orange, red, and TURQUOISE! I knew it was the one! (T and I are purse twins now, she got orange!)

It was *the* purse. And? It was on sale for only $19.99. A soft, beautiful, leather purse with plenty of pockets and a perfect cell phone pocket. (a requirement) Seriously, it's so soft. It seems wrong to love a purse this much... but...

Look at all these pockets! It's big enough for diaper bag/purse use! Oh wait... more pockets!
Cell phone pocket:
This is seriously a requirement for a person who can never find their cell phone in the bottom of their purse.

I know it seems wrong to be so excited over a purse, but I basically spent the whole weekend - and most of the last 5 years - buying things for everyone else in my family - which IS fun, don't get me wrong - but this? This was something I wanted just for me - and I love it.

I've been looking for a great purse/diaper bag. Where did you get this one? If you don't remember, could you let us know the brand? Thank you!

It's not at all silly to be so excited about a purse. It's an awesome find! Super cute AND functional. It's like the holy grail of purses!

I'm very curious about the brand. I'm all about finding a red one for myself.

Jackie - it was a really short trip!! Sorry!!

We got them in the Opry Mills mall, at a store called New York (I think?)
I couldn't find a name on the tag...
It was just a small store that had leather coats, belts, wallets and purses, and some luggage.

Very lovely. Here from Scenic Overlook.
I fell in love with a hot pink purse last summer. I think it's time to take it out again.
