After a quick train ride south, I went to Escada. While shopping among ritzy Spanish women with deep tans, I noticed a cute white canvas bag. $690 is a slightly outrageous amount to pay for a soggy fashion-magazine carrier. But with its elegant floral pattern and brown leather trim, this bag could double as my new summer purse. Sadly, I knew it wouldn't stay white for long. 715 Fifth Ave., nr. 56th St.; 212-755-2200.
