Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag, Handbag of the Day

The Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag is elegant enough for the evening, yet casual enough for daytime wear.

The graceful shaping with the metal plates (balanced by metal feet you can't see in this image) is echoed in the pleating and stitching, giving the purse a very deliberate, contained feeling. The bag is 15"W X 12"H X 5½", with 7" drop double handles, and made from soft, Italian calf. There's a surprise inside -- the lining is blood red cotton! The inside also has a cell phone and zipper pocket. We love the fanciful little stiletto signature charm. This bag would be great with stilettos under jeans or with a fitted dress.

The Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,495.
