The Kate Spade Coney Island Quilted Lilia Tote shows us quilting on a new -- much larger than usual -- scale.

This lovely13½"W X 13"H X 3"D tote has big, diamond-shaped nylon quilt panels, which give it an unusual texture and a lot of interest! The juxtaposition of the soft, cushy panels and the rigid goldtone rings and metal chain shows both femininity and grit. It's a sensible, day-sized bag with a punk rock edge.

We love the way this bag would dress up any denim -- and add rock cred to your day job outfit. The bag is rounded out with a sexy, deep red lining, an unusually dark metal Kate Spade logo plate and patent leather trim.

No word on whether it doubles as a pillow, but we have an inkling that it would totally work.

The Kate Spade Coney Island Quilted Lilia Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $355.
