It’s been a while since I’ve found myself drawn to a slouchy, effortless tote. The kind you can – and undoubtedly will – use to death, and then will continue to use because once it’s all worn in, it suddenly has a whole new look. But here I am again, and this time it’s a frugal find by Linea Pelle that has demanded my attention.
There is definitely a cool factor at play here, from the casual textured leather to the perfectly undone shape that speaks of laidback nonchalance. Then, of course, there’s the strap, which is styled like a loose, unattached, undone buckle. It could easily be a metaphor, but I won’t insert my interpretation. I’ll simply take this bag for what it is: easy, carefree, and irreverent. Down to the inky, offbeat color, this tote is great for all those occasions when you need to schlep it and still want to remain yourself. Linea Pelle Hunter tote on Shopbop for $335.
Pair with: If you don’t happen to get a natural flush while you’re on the move, feign one with Urban Decay’s Naked Flushed to-go palette, featuring bronzer, highlighter, and blush. At Nordstrom for $30.
Kelly, You do love your purple!
