Souvenir Watch: Obama Evening Bag

A periodic look at Obama tchotchkes to memorialize the big day.
Item: Obama evening bag
Maker: Flash Bags
Price: $52
Why: From the Web site: "Each one is hand numbered and we're only making 2009 of these- a true collector's item. Our brand new design includes a large vinyl pocket (phone, blackberry lipstick etc.), a bill slot, and two credit card pockets. It's the perfect size for a night out on the town."
Inauguration Watch Verdict: Price is right. But one of our more fashion-forward Style colleagues says: "This one is particularly grotesque, but I'm sure people will have them all over town."
