What handbag did Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy carry?

Prada Spazzolato brushed-leather tote. RoseMarie Terenzio, JFK Jr.'s longtime assistant and a close friend of the couple, originally told the New York Post in 2012 that this Prada tote was Bessette-Kennedy's everyday bag for a year. The quote is widely re-reported; recorded here via Marie Claire, which names the New York Post as the original source.
