This classic tote is one of the pieces in Luella's new fall collection and its serious, but elegant, look is a distinct contrast from the spring/summer styles that we saw earlier this year when the designer partnered with Target. Like other fall bags we have seen, the Stevie Leather Tote features a harness of leather that wraps around it, descending from the rolled leather handles, but the thick, soft leather and the dangling heart-shaped charms take the edge off what might have been a severe design. The tote is made of a dark chocolate leather and has silver hardware, including a toggle that secures the bag's flap closure. The lining is cream-colored suede. Price: $950.
