Mulberry Ice-Cream Tote, Handbag of the Day

I have a love/hate relationship with clear handbags -- on one hand they're very cute, springy, and and it's especially easy to find things in them. But on the other hand I often feel self-conscious about what I'm keeping in my bag since everyone can see (tampons anyone?) and every little bit of interior dust and grunge shows up so easily in the crevices of the bag's bottom. However you feel about them, though, this clear vinyl tote by Mulberry features some cute illustrations by artist Julie Verhoeven. $175
