Monica Lewinsky shows off spring line of handbags

March 23, 2000
Web posted at: 4:50 p.m. EST (2150 GMT)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Monica Lewinsky is fashioning a new image with her latest line of purses and totes. The former White House intern put her handcrafted wares on display at Henri Bendel, a Fifth Avenue department store that caters to Manhattan's upper crust.

Hundreds of tourists and locals jammed the store to catch a glimpse of the handbags and their creator -- especially the creator. Some even bought the fabric purses, which run as high as $218 each.

Lewinsky was more than happy to talk about Rose Sorbet, Mango Blossom, Bali Bamboo, Bohemian Shell, Shanghai Mystique and her other exotically named handbags. But when it came to discussing politics, she had one rule: Zip it.

CNN's Jeanne Moos looks at what happened when one woman dared to broach the subject.
