Honorees Nicole Miller, Cathy Hardwick, Cece Cord

Fashionistas flocked to the Purses and Pursenalities luncheon, benefiting the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club, at Doubles. The event, sponsored by Eric Javits, honored fashion aficionados Cathy Hardwick, Cece Cord, and Nicole Miller.

Lucky ladies at the luncheon got their chance to take home a fab handbag in the silent auction from the personal collections of Pamela Fiori, Susan Lucci, Star Jones Reynolds, and Elizabeth Hasselback, which also included new bags donated by Bulgari, Celine, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, Eric Javits, Nicole Miller, Badgley Mischka, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, Valentino, Kate Spade, and Yves Saint Laurent, among others.

And ladies who don’t just lunch included: Debbie Bancroft, Wendy Carduner, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Amy Hoadley, Clo Cohen, Rachel Hovnanian, Muffy Potter Aston, Allison Rockefeller, Adrienne Vittadini, Somers Farkas, Margo Langenberg, Tara Rockefeller, Mary Van Pelt, and Cynthia Lufkin.

The luncheon, which raised over $75,000, gave new meaning to “old bags.”
