Bold lattice designs usually make me think of 1970s Palm Springs décor – a little tacky and over-the-top. But my new obsession with interior designer Tom Scheerer has me changing my tune. He is all about lattice, and more importantly, he’s adept at incorporating it in unexpected, refreshing ways. Scheerer’s brand of relaxed modernism, as he calls it, immediately came to mind when I laid eyes on this Maiyet tote.
This is latticework with a surprising sense of ease. The artful juxtaposition of a curved, rounded silhouette and sharp, geometric shapes projects a perfect balance, the kind that makes me feel all is right with the world. The marriage of lush beige suede and deep blue leather, finalized with pale cotton-canvas, makes for colors and textures that also live in ultimate harmony. Whether you utilize the long shoulder strap or keep this hanging from your forearm, the Peyton proves sweet success is in the execution. Maiyet Peyton tote on NET-A-PORTER for $2,350.
Pair with: Eddie Borgo’s long, made-to-layer necklace of silver-plated hexagonal links reflects the essence of latticework without getting too literal. On NET-A-PORTER for $1,250.
