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.
Nina Ricci Ballet Cabas Leather and Canvas Shoulder Bag: Hello, Lover
I’m so in love! I’m no ballerina, not even close, but this update of Nina Ricci’s delicately impactful Ballet bag is making me want to dance. Or at least do a little twirl with it on my arm. While the original has a wide, east-west silhouette, this newly elongated iteration really speaks to me.
Miu Miu Biker Bags: Snob and Slob Face-Off
The concept of “less is more” has never been more obvious than in Miu Miu’s new biker-inspired collection. When it comes to quilting, padding, and topstitching, just a little is Snob…and a lot is a whole big mess of Slob.
Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Woven Bag: The Order of Things
