Botkier Nicole Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I've been trying to decide which handbag I will be asking Santa to bring me this year. I am in the market for a bag that is large, durable and goes with anything. I have it narrowed down to a few, including this one. While it is also available in a gorgeous denim blue suede with gunmetal hardware, this black leather with oxidized copper hardware is better suited for every day use. The pleating at the bottom adds a casual softness to the bag and I love the detachable braided chain strap. In fact, why would you ever want to detach it? Lined in logo jacquard, the bag measures 15 ½"H x 13 ½"W x 6"D and features interior zip and cell phone pockets. $585.
Heading somewhere warm this winter? Can't you just picture yourself with this on your arm? From the Fendi Resort 2007/2008 Collection, this tote features Fendi's Palazzo flagship store screened onto coated canvas. The pretty blue chain link pattern on the canvas straps contrasts nicely with the black and cream and there's more blue on the coated nylon lining. With one interior patch pocket and a leather trimmed nameplate, the bag opens with a double touch-tape tab closure and is a roomy 14.5" x 11.25" x 4.25".
