I am absolutely in love with this brand for their no-nonsense designs, which designer Carole Thomas expertly complements with electrifying neon stitching. Handcrafted in the Loire Valley (Carole designs her pieces in a studio at the foot of the Eiffel Tower!), this line is a study in juxtaposition. Think earthy versus amped-up, raw versus refined, and neutral versus playful. The combination of naturally grained bullskin and impeccable yet bold stitching gives each bag a punch, and simultaneously flaunts the high level of craftsmanship.
A Perpetuel crossbody sounds like just what my life needs these days. Now that I’m a city girl, finding myself street-bound much of the time, a crossbody is what I typically wear during the day. The size of this one, whether in bright white or warm gray, both topped with neon pink, is ideal for your daily haul. Refined elegance that suits a busy lifestyle: now doesn’t that sound just right?
