More from the Modern Family wardrobe – Claire’s Purse

Modern Family is one of my favorite shows this fall. The entire cast has a great synergy that is so reminiscent of another of my all-time favorite shows, Arrested Development. Seriously, I would love-hate to be in a family like that! I’ve posted before about the wardrobe of two of the main characters: Claire (played by Julie Bowen) and Gloria (played by Sofia Vergara), looking to replicate the casual ease of Claire’s looks and Gloria’s colorful vibrancy. On October 5 in the episode “Door to Door” (season 3, episode 4), Claire carried a fabulous belted leather satchel handbag which I found out is the “Jane” by Roccatella. Update: Claire also wore this purse on Oct 12. (Episode 5, “Hit and Run”)

It’s a great brown bag for fall, easy to dress up or down. Big enough to tote around for work or school (or big trips to the mall!). And bonus, it’s on sale from $398 to $160 at Nordstrom.com! Saving money AND looking great? Claire would be proud. And of course I wouldn’t leave y’all hanging —I found this awesome purse in two other solid colors and an on-trend colorblock version. Saving money, that’s totally Claire!

    Thank you so much! I have been lusting after this purse since I saw it on the first show…then it made a reappearance…I was sold. Just didn’t know where to find it. When I told my husband I found it he said you better buy it! I guess I must have been making a big deal about it :) .

    I am trying to find this bag for my wife’s b-day, she has pointed it out twice watching this show, where can I find it???

      Hi Jim, Because of the overwhelming response to this post, the purse is sold out online.  However, you can try to call your local Nordstrom and see if they still have it in stock.  Ask for the “Jane” purse from the Roccatella brand.  

      And a happy birthday to your wife! :)

      Hi Jim, if you are still looking for this purse, you should check Nordstrom Rack. I bought it there today. Northbrook, Illinois

    does anyone know where to find the sweater Claire is wearing in the Punkin Chunkin while they’re getting dinner ready? The 3/4 sleeve, bluish green one? I would really love to know what brand it is.

    Do you know where I can find the swimsuit coverup Gloria was wearing on the first episode this season?

    I love Claire’s brown shoulder bag. She seems to love it too, since it’s her go to in most episodes. Anyone out there know who it’s made by?

    This bag is simply awesome. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
