The perfect designer tote bag for those who believe less is more, this style from Sezane was made for long days filled with meetings and errands. It features a spacious compartment that fits a laptop, dual leather sliding handles and an interior zip pocket.
Longchamp Le Pliage
Unlike many designer bags which are associated with impossibly high price points, Longchamp’s Le Pliage is a reasonable purchase. In fact, the nylon version is available for less than $150.
It is also compact, folding down into the size of a small book. This is a great feature when you’re travelling and don’t want to take up too much space in your luggage!
In addition to the original nylon Le Pliage, they’ve recently launched a Cuir line of leather versions, including their Heritage collection. These bags are a bit more expensive than the nylon version, but they offer the same functionality and fold up just as flat. It’s a great option for those that want to make the switch to leather bags.
Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake is one of the most innovative fashion designers to ever be born. He’s known for his industrial and experimental apparel designs, fragrances and exhibitions that push the boundaries of both science and fashion into a harmonious symphony. Born on April 22, 1938, Miyake survived the Hiroshima bombing as a child and learned to find creation in destruction.
After studying graphic design in Tokyo, Miyake moved to New York and Paris to hone his skills. He eventually opened his own studio, which produced high-end, sophisticated and extraordinary women’s fashion. His renowned perfume, L’Eau d’Issey, is famous for its slender bottle.
Since his death in 2016, Miyake’s company has continued to produce lines that have stayed true to the designer’s rubric of bringing joy and enlightenment to society. One of these is the A-POC line, which consists of tubes of machine-processed fabric that can be cut into clothing and accessories by the consumer. These are a nod to the Japanese designer’s fascination with, and dedication to, fabric manipulation and ethical consumption.
Salvatore Ferragamo
A designer tote bag is a great way to elevate your everyday look. Whether you’re going out for dinner with friends or shopping at the mall, a designer bag can give your outfit a luxe vibe. Luckily, there are plenty of brands that offer affordable designer bags, including Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch.
The iconic shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo revolutionized footwear design during the Golden Age of Hollywood. His shoes were made from an array of materials, including kangaroo and crocodile skin. He was also known for experimenting with styles.
His namesake brand carries on his legacy today, with leather goods and apparel. The brand also produces a line of fragrances and accessories, including handbags. Its line of shoes continues to be a staple in the closets of fashionistas everywhere. The NYC Times Square experience includes a rainbow-hued snakeskin Carlos Falchi tote valued at $900 plus a two night stay at the Gansevoort Park Avenue hotel and $200 restaurant gift certificates to Persimmon, Gracie’s, Billy’s and Local 121.
Christian Louboutin
Christian Louboutin is a French fashion designer known for his red soles on his high-end shoes. He has also designed handbags and lipstick.
