Fruit Bags! Because Why Not?

Let's get fruity for Spring

I love my grandma a lot, but I wouldn't really call her a style icon. Don't get me wrong, she always looks "sharp" and "dresses to the nines." But imagine any typical Sicilian-American woman from New Jersey. Envision shades of Goodfellas. I'm talking gold chains, baby! But I will always give credit when it is due; my grandmother's selection of handbags is a 10/10. They always seem to be changing shape, colour and style. But no matter what the bag, they're always filled with hand sanitizer, a small sleeve of tissues and butterscotch candies. Out of all of my grandmother's bags, her fruit shaped ones have always been my favourite. Vibrant, cute and just in time for spring, these bags are a perfect statement piece.

It seems celebrities are taking notes from their grandmothers too!
