Jean Paul Gaultier Metallic Satchel, Handbag of the Day

The Jean Paul Gaultier Metallic Satchel is a bright accessory for fall. The cross-body handbag has a soft, wide shoulder strap that you'll actually want to have across your shoulders. Wearing it across the body seems to put less strain on each individual shoulder, so you'll be able to carry the bag comfortably for longer periods of time without having to resort to the familiar shoulder-switch move. It is available in metallic anthracite and a light bronze, both with matching hardware. The bag is adorned with long tassels at both ends and a delicately braided trim on the front. Price: $1,495.
