Step back in time with this Victorian gown, believed to be originally designed for the 1991 production 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔, where it was worn by Connie Booth, who beautifully portrayed Miss Caroline Hartley.   The dress continued its journey in 1997, gracing Honeysuckle Weeks as Millie Forester in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒈 𝑵𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒉.   In 2004, the velvet ribbon around the neckline and the velvet around the sleeves were removed when Amy Marston donned it as Priscilla Stanbury in 𝑯𝒆 𝑲𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝑯𝒆 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.   Find out where else it has been spotted!

Gladstone Bag vs. Mary Poppins Bag

When it comes to statement-making, functional, and elegant carpet bags, the Gladstone Bag and the Mary Poppins Bag are two standout options. Both pay homage to the Victorian era's timeless charm while balancing modern practicality. But which one is the right fit for you? Here's a breakdown of their features to help you decide.

Craftsmanship & Materials

Gladstone Bag

The Genevieve Gladstone Bag is all about luxury and refinement. Crafted from rich burnout velvet, leather trim, and adorned with hand-polished brass hardware, it exudes Victorian-era elegance. Its cotton canvas lining adds durability, and the bag is designed to last a lifetime—a true heritage piece you can pass down to future generations.

Mary Poppins Bag

The Mary Poppins Weekender embraces sophistication with a functional twist. Made from thick chenille carpet material paired with genuine leather handles and belts, it's as tactile as it is beautiful. The heavy cotton canvas lining ensures sturdiness, while its bronze stands provide excellent stability when placed down—a small detail but oh-so practical!

Verdict

If you're looking for a bag that emphasizes opulence and heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, the Gladstone shines with its timeless design, meticulous attention to detail, and premium materials that exude sophistication.

For those seeking a more modern balance of luxury and functionality, the Mary Poppins delivers with its sleek silhouette, smart organizational features, and versatile style that seamlessly transitions from day to night.

Style & Design

Gladstone Bag

This bag leans slightly toward a structured, elegant design. Its framed compartment opens wide for accessibility, and a secure clasp lock adds a touch of sophistication. The burnout velvet aqua blue color, combined with brass accents, makes this bag a showstopper.

Mary Poppins Bag

Fusing the classic charm of a Victorian carpet bag with functional practicality, this weekender features a timeless navy hue. It’s perfect for carry-on luggage, offering both aesthetic appeal and a nod to practicality with its bronze stands and chenille shoulder strap.

Verdict

Love a structured bag that doubles as a centerpiece to your outfit? Gladstone fits the bill with its timeless design and elegant lines, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any look.

Want something slightly more versatile but equally chic? Mary Poppins takes the lead with its practicality and effortless charm, offering plenty of space without compromising on style. Whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual, these bags have you covered.

Storage & Organization

Gladstone Bag

Organization is where the Gladstone excels. Inside, you'll find multiple compartments, including zippered pockets (perfect for securing valuables) and slip pockets. There's even a padded pocket for a tablet or iPad. Despite its luxurious design, it doesn’t skimp on practicality.

Interior Highlights:

Interior Highlights:

Dimensions (closed): 15”W x 9"D x 10”H

Adjustable shoulder strap length up to 48"

Weight: 4 lbs.

Mary Poppins Bag

Dimensions: 19.25”W x 8.25”D x 14.125”H

Shoulder strap length up to 55"

Verdict

While both bags offer portability with adjustable shoulder straps, the Mary Poppins' slightly larger size makes it better for travel. The Gladstone, being more compact, is fantastic for daily use or shorter trips.

Price

Gladstone Bag: $279

Mary Poppins Bag: $196

Verdict

If you're looking for a more affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality, the Mary Poppins bag wins on price. However, if you’re investing in a luxury heirloom piece, the Gladstone justifies the higher cost.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation

Choose the Gladstone Bag if you want to make a statement with timeless elegance. It's a perfect blend of luxury and practicality, offering refined materials, excellent organization, and an heirloom feel. Great for work, special occasions, or adding a touch of elegance to your day-to-day life.

Choose the Mary Poppins Bag if you're seeking a versatile, stylish bag with a slightly roomier design. It's perfect for weekend trips, carry-on luggage, or anyone who prioritizes vibrant material, functional practicality, and affordability.

No matter which bag you choose, Max Carpetbag Works by MCW Handmade offers both options that promise to bring a touch of Victorian craftsmanship and modern charm into your life. Which one speaks to you? Leave a comment below—team Gladstone or team Mary Poppins?

Whispers of Elegance

Chapter One: The studio exuded the rich fragrance of roses, the light summer breeze teasing the garden’s trees, carrying with it the heavy scent of lilacs and the delicate perfume of pink-flowering thorns. Lying on the Persian saddle-bags, Lord Henry Wotton smoked, the curls of opium-tainted cigarette smoke dancing lazily around him. His eyes caught the gleam of honey-sweet laburnum blossoms,…
