Today’s
day the concept of the “It Bag” is popular. This is the definition of the It
Bag on Wikipedia: "The
term "It Bag" was coined in the 1990s with the explosive growth of
the handbag market in fashion. Designers competed to produce a single, easily recognizable
design which, if cleverly marketed, endorsed by the fashion press, or seen
being carried by a celebrity, would become that season's must-have bag, selling
in large numbers. "
For
me I buy a bag because I like the brand or the model, and I love people
complimenting on my fetiche accessory. Some days just the handbag can make the
trick.
I
have, also, always been fascinated by the world of cocktails. Observing the mixologist
pick up the ingredients and make magical moves to present a drink with the
right amount of sweetness, sourness, alcohol, fruits and the pinch of exotic
ingredients is magical.
This
post is about handbags blending in perfection with the right cocktail. Alberto
Pizarro, one the best mixologist in Spain, champion of the World Class Champion
2011, is the bar manager at the trendy & elegant cocktail bar: Bobby Gin.
He prepared each of the cocktail mixing the flavors & licors with the
design and material of each bag. Thanks Alberto & Bobby Gin.
