Missoni Emerald Green Purse, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Ever since Louis Vuitton's Fall 2010 show, I've become enamored with ladylike purses. They exude an elegance and sophistication that pays homage to the 1950s while maintaining a timeless and stylish appeal. Rightly so, they're the perfect complement to waist-cinching, voluminous skirts and dresses but they also add a feminine and understated sexiness to jeans, high heeled boots and a slim fitting sweater.

The Missoni Purse ($1136) is just beautiful. With a base of glowing emerald green and sprinkles of black and white, the color palette draws you in. The shoulder strap is a combination of metal and tortoise - which makes for an eye catching detail. My favorite part of Missoni's bag is the interior caramel leather - it's a great color choice against green. And to complete the look there is a turn lock tortoise closure that is surrounded by oval shaped accents.
