On The Real Housewives of New Jersey episode “The Apology,” while Teresa Giudice starts writing a new book (it will be her sixth!), new wife Margaret Josephs throws a party to celebrate the launch of her new purse line from the Macbeth Collection. (Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania refuse to attend.) Margaret Josephs launched her fashion line the Macbeth Collection in 1999 — it’s tagline is “if you can’t be on vacation everyday… at least look like you are.” Josephs’s Macbeth Collection isn’t just a one-off shot at swimsuits or bags like so many other reality TV stars put out there. Macbeth includes dresses, tunics and cover-ups, blouses and tops, sweaters and sweatshirts, tees and tanks, pants and shorts, jumpsuits and rompers. And, yes, handbags and beach totes — remember it’s about thinking you’re on vacation.
(Dolores wore one of Margaret’s maxi wraps dressing in Boca Raton, see below). You can find Margaret’s bags on her website (the most expensive beach bag is $72), where she will also roll out a line of reading glasses in November. The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Bravo. The Macbeth Collection bags are also on sale on Amazon.
