You might think this bag is nothing to write home about, but initial looks can be deceiving. This is Valextra we’re talking about, which means the Sally is a timeless wonder you’ll use for years, regardless of the season or trends. Their grained leather holds up so well and looks more beautiful with wear (that is if you don’t scratch it up; my heart broke when I scratched my Valextra Namaste, but I still use it because I love it so much).
A daily bag that will serve you with pride, this is a true investment. I’m waiting for it to come out in a bright color, but this camel is as dreamy and versatile as they come. It’s the color of melted toffee, which also happens to be a shade that won’t show much dirt and goes with everything, from holiday red to Resort turquoise. Even if you’re in sweatpants (not that I’m suggesting that’s a good idea!), this will instantly grant you an air of polish. You’ll feel put-together no matter how disheveled you feel on the inside. Valextra shoulder bag exclusively at Barneys New York for $2,020.
Pair with: When it comes to feeling polished, a great pair of pants will instantly snap you into shape. Roland Mouret imparts the flattering fit of his dress cuts into the stretchy Mortimer skinny pants. On NET-A-PORTER for $700.
