Cole Haan Felicity Zip Tote, Handbag of the Day

The Cole Haan Felicity Zip Tote is a plump, appealing bag with an easy sophistication.

This glamorous tote is part lacquer red leather and part suede, in seductively revealed zipper folds. Feeling prim? Zip them up. Feeling saucy? Unzip and let it all hang out.

We love the equestrian lines adorned in shiny goldtone hardware and the durable optical weave jacquard lining. This bag is 14"H x 16"L x 4 1/2"D, and also comes in black, in case the red is too bawdy for you. Either is a safe and classy choice for a work bag and would look equally appropriate dangling from your arm as a sensible traveling satchel -- with room for all your souvenirs.

The Cole Haan Felicity Zip Tote is available from Neiman Marcus for $378.00.
