Bottega Venetta Sardegna Tote, Handbag of the Day

Style is great, and I have a lot of fun covering bright (and sometimes downright obnoxious) handbag styles but here's a nice breath of fresh air from Bottega Veneta: the Sardegna Canvas Tote. It's one of those bags that's eyecatching not because of what it has but because of what it doesn't have -- it's so simple it makes a statement despite itself. Not to mention it's also outrageously useful and versatile because you can pair it with pretty much anything. Double top handles and detachable shoulder strap, top zip closure and no interior pockets. $1,180
