One particular "accessory" from the movie caught my attention:
When I read Marie Claire UK (July 2008 and their website (shown above), it states that it's one of the "in" thing to carry these days. They even set up a sweepstake so that one could win this particular hat box by Lock & Co, "The Carrie" and one of their hats. I don't mind so much on the sweepstake. I'm just a little concern that they actually sell the box for £450. However, since it's bounded with leather around the box, I guess it should be understandable. Plus the box and logo looks nice…

I prefer to think of other solutions… I'm sure many of us would think of making their own… Go to any craft stores and grab a round box, decorate it, add the handles (string, ribbons, etc) then use it as a bag.
Of course there should be more to just these items... You got to decorate it somehow (whatever way you want). You can get boxes in different shapes and sizes (anywhere (first instinct would be IKEA), whether it's covered in fabric, leather or paper...) but I say something round or with a round edge feels more elegant.
I admit, it does look really attractive and I would definitely carry it…just not at the cost it's being sold. I rather make my own if I have to pay for a box (or bag) at that price!
