Show Us Your Purse

■ Who? Rathna Singh, embajadora de la casa at Casa Fuente

■ Location: Casa Fuente at the Forum Shops at Caesars

■ Handbag: Louis Vuitton satchel

■ Are handbags status symbols? I don't think it's necessarily status, but it's more of my fashion sense of what looks good on me and what I like.

■ What does this bag say about you? Fun, but flirty and definitely classy.

■ If someone found your bag and looked inside, what would they think of you? I'm stylish, fashion-conscious, business-minded and confident.

■ What's the most important item you've carried in your bag? About five years ago I met a woman from Hawaii at Casa Fuente. After we shared a great conversation about growing up on islands (I'm originally from Fiji), she handed me a little hand-carved frog and told me to always carry it in my purse for good luck. I have to this day.

■ What's the strangest item you've carried in your bag? Doggy treats

■ Tell us about the first special bag you owned. It was a little silver bag that was given to me by my older sister on my 12th birthday.

■ Knockoffs: Love 'em or hate 'em? Hate 'em. I feel like a designer's creative style should be acknowledged and appreciated and definitely not copied!

■ Image is ... one expression of beauty and the way others perceive it.

■ What's in your bag? 1. Cigar cutter, 2. Listerine strips, 3. Good luck frog (this is very special to me), 4. Mont Blanc pen (everyone should have one nice pen and this is just another way for me to express my sense of style), 5. Valet ticket (always on the go and like to get in and out), 6. Lighter (this and a cigar cutter are must-haves for me).
