Celine Asymmetric Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

The Asymmetric Shoulder Bag by Celine is a great purse if you're looking for something more unique than the relatively standard shapes of most handbags. With one squared end and one rounded end, the bag is subtly attention-getting, enhanced with gold and wood accents on the outside and a red-lined interior. The bottom of the mahogany-colored bag is reinforced and has small gold feet to prevent scuffing the leather.

The only problem with this bag is not in the item, but in its description from Net-a-Porter, which suggests using it to carry a small umbrella. With a purse this nice, it is best to carry the umbrella in hand and not risk getting it wet. Price: $1,550.
