Burberry Alligator Sling Bag, Handbag of the Day

As much as we may love an oversized handbag, sometimes an occasion, or an outfit, calls for a smaller bag that still packs personality. That's when you go for Burberry's Alligator Sling Bag ($14,500).

It's heavily embellished with brass hardware which surprisingly doesn't feel overdone or cheapen the bag's rockstar appeal. However, alligator provides such texture and depth and combined with a warm color palette, Burberry's Sling Bag would be equally exceptional, if not more, without embellishments.

In addition to a rolled shoulder handle, there's also a detachable flat shoulder strap. The interior is lined with sateen and features a zipped pocket. Also available in ink (navy blue) with black metal hardware. Measurements: 15 1/2" L x 7 1/4" H x 1 1/2" W.
