Chloe Cyndi Tote, Handbag Of The Day

Filed under: Handbags

Chloe is debuting a chic tote for fall crafted from "alligator-stamped" (that sounds humane, doesn't it?) calfskin leather. The Cyndi bag above is in a subtle yet chic slate grey that makes fall just one time of year to enjoy carrying it. (The bag is also available in black patent.) As far as pricey totes go, it's hard for me to get enthused about much in this handbag-saturated age we're living in (I'm still carrying the original L.L. Bean boat and tote -- my grandmother would be proud), but this bag does strike me as versatile and classic, a kind of sleeper it-bag you could carry for more than a few seasons. Oversized at 15 x 13 x 7.5 inches with a 6.5 inch handle drop, this tote is currently available exclusively at Net-a-Porter for $2,200.

Celine Asymmetric Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Asymmetric Shoulder Bag by Celine is a great purse if you're looking for something more unique than the relatively standard shapes of most handbags. With one squared end and one rounded end, the bag is subtly attention-getting, enhanced with gold and wood accents on the outside and a red-lined interior. The bottom of the mahogany-colored bag is reinforced and has small gold feet to prevent scuffing the leather.

The only problem with this bag is not in the item, but in its description from Net-a-Porter, which suggests using it to carry a small umbrella. With a purse this nice, it is best to carry the umbrella in hand and not risk getting it wet. Price: $1,550.
