Salvatore Ferragamo Small Sofia Colorblock Leather Bag: Primp and Polish
These days, there’s something almost edgy and dangerous about a prim, ladylike bag (and vice versa). It’s all about attitude, especially the attitude of the girl behind the bag, and no one seems to know this right now like Salvatore Ferragamo.
Céline Geometrical Handbag: Can You Handle It
Céline’s new summer tote is as unsurprisingly fabulous as it is surprisingly impractical. On second thought, maybe its high level of impracticality isn’t so shocking; Céline bags are not exactly known for their functionality.
Marni Haircalf Top-Handle Shopper: Buck the Bucket
Just another bucket bag? Not so fast. A basic black tote? It’s not that simple! Marni presents a wise variation on the bucket style that we’ve been seeing so much of lately, yet again.

Balenciaga Ostrich Tube Round L: Riding the L Train
Balenciaga just got serious. The words that come to mind upon first impression of this top-handle tote? Incredible. Beautiful. Classic. Decadent. This is, of course, Balenciaga’s big answer to the Birkin, but knockoff or tawdry imitation it isn’t. Thanks to their signature tube-shaped hardware, it’s merely a dutiful nod to the holy grail of bags, one that shows nothing but respect.

Some collaborations are nothing but a natural fit. Smythson’s latest Panama Collection marks the second capsule partnership between the leather company and artist Quentin Jones. Best of all, I love Smythson and their clean, simple shapes readily lend themselves to artistic embellishment.
