Bag It: Hayne Suthon

Six purse essentials from the cougar of the downtown dining scene

A restaurateur-turned-cougar reality star, New-Orleans native Hayne Suthon is living up her extended 15 minutes of fame. A firecracker fixture in the downtown dining scene, Hayne’s eyebrow-raising establishments have included everything from a S&M-themed restaurant to a trippy Hawaiian lounge, and she continues to keep the drag queen funhouse Lucky Cheng’s a destination for many bachelorette parties.

Recently, her charming devil-may-care personality has attracted the attention of not one, but two reality shows. Dying to see the secret items inside this diva’s purse, we swung by her newest place, Marfa, where she talked us through the contents of her Prada bag before jetting off to appear on Japanese TV.
