The Jane Shopping Bag takes two of the season's hottest trends, menswear and medicine bags, combining them with a retro flair for a style that is timeless and effortless. With black and brown accents, the bag can literally go with anything, and provides enough room to take along for a full day of errands. The soft leather in distressed goatskin provides a unique pattern, ensuring that no two bags will be exactly alike.

If there's one style lesson to learn from the French, it's to invest in a few wardrobe staples, and the rest will follow. Glamour girls Sophie Marceau and Julie Depardieu have long followed the house of Sequoia Paris, carrying their remarkably utilitarian yet stylish bags on their arms from the greenmarket to the red carpet.

Legendary designer Pierre Hardy has served as the line's Creative Director since its inception in 1988, when he sought to create a line of fashion handbags both decadent and useful. Sequoia Paris, sold in top retailers like Le Bon Marche and Printemps, has proven to be a signature in luxury-crafted French leather goods. Now, this classic line is coming stateside with a new collection intent on bringing the classic French style to an American market.

Available for $556 at Sequoia Paris.
