Ah, bonjour, my lovelies.

Augustina here, bringing a dash of timeless grace and a sprinkle of elegance to your world. Now, let’s get down to brass tacks—when you’re out and about, dining at a sublime eatery or attending a soirée, where does your handbag rest? The table, you say? Oh, darling, we must discuss this faux pas.

You see, placing your handbag on a table isn’t just a modern breach of etiquette; it’s a longstanding no-no, one that we took very seriously in the charming decade of the 1950s. Back then, the world moved at a slower pace, allowing us to revel in the nuances of life and, more importantly, decorum.

Imagine a dinner party attended by the luminaries of the 1950s—Marilyn, Audrey, and, of course, yours truly, Augustina. Not one of us would dream of tarnishing the aura by plunking our handbags on the table. It would be inconceivable! Our bags had their places—either elegantly hung from the back of our chairs, gracefully rested on our laps, or carefully tucked beside us. And let’s not forget the charming handbag hooks that many establishments provided—oh, those were the days!

Why such a fuss, you wonder? A table is a sanctuary for gastronomic delights, scintillating conversations, and the simple joys of life. Cluttering it with a handbag detracts from the purity of the experience. Plus, think of the eyes a raised brow could draw—after all, your handbag is no less than a work of art. It’s crafted from the most exquisite vegan materials, a testament to your commitment to elegance and kindness. Let it breathe, let it shine, but away from the dining table, s’il vous plaît.

So, my darlings, the next time you find yourself out in the world, remember this tidbit of wisdom from an era gone by but not forgotten. Keep your table pristine, your conversation sparkling, and your handbag in a place of honor—but not on the table.

Until next time, keep it glamorous and kind.

Stay fabulous!
