I have designated bags for certain different purposes. For example I have a travel tote just for airline travel. A gym bag that’s also a tote for the gym, and so on. I gravitate towards leathers as they are as a material, a cut above the rest. Always classic and chic, the minimal ones often stand out more. When I walk down the street I AM the bling, not the bag. Know what I mean? Coming in both black and tan, this buttery soft tote bag from designer Beth Goodman, focuses on the minimal. The classic shape is timeless, hip and is always modern. Made in the USA from cowhide. Double handles and unlined interior. Height: 14″ / 35.5cm. Length: 12″ / 30.5cm. Depth: 5″ / 13cm. Strap drop: 6″ / 15cm. I would add this to my collection of leather travel tote bags. Stat.

I must have a staple bag. In fact I must have a few. These are the everyday, block-color-but-with-texture-bags I seek. Inexpensive, not too much hardware, looks chic and ready to wear, and doest look like all the other bags out there. This stone gray woven tote bag I LOVE. As an oversized tote, it’s roomy to carry everything I need, the stone color goes with pretty much everything, and is woven in faux leather. The angle of the carry handle adds a chic “peak” to the bag, with a removable shoulder strap. Simple, elegant and chic, the woven texture is the star of the show here, and it’s worthy of the best everyday tote bag out there! 16″ height. 15″ width. 4.5″ depth. 6″ handle drop.

MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela can do no wrong. From the more relaxed MM6 everyday collection, this slouchy tote is minimal in design, yet unique enough to stand out. Thats what it’s about – we want to stand out! Great design doesn’t need bells and whistles, when a simple yet well cut piece is constructed. Made from velour; a softer plush velvet, it’s a roomy bag with a lined interior and one pocket. Remember, less is more. And with a bag that looks like it was designed by an architect, you don’t need more. Italian made. Height: 17″ / 43cm. Length: 22″ / 56cm. Depth: 1″ / 2.5cm. Strap drop: 9″ / 23cm. In Navy or Black.
