Chloé Abby Framed Shoulder Bag

Yes, perforated leather accessories are very on trend right now but Azzedine Alaia has been doing it for decades! I’m a huge Alaia fan and have always said that one can live on nothing but a few Alaia dresses and always look chic and current but now one must also add the Alaia leather tote to one’s life. I liked it in black but this gorgeous tan version really show off the leather work and intricate details. Talk about the ultimate snobby summer tote! I know many of you will protest about the lack of functionality of a bag full of holes but think of it this way, you’ll be able to spot your phone and keys in a second with this baby! ALA?A Perforated Leather Oversized Tote for $2,385

I feel cool just looking at this bag. It has a vagabond look but incredibly chic at the same time. It’s very Sienna Miller, no offense intended in comparing her to a hobo but she cleans up well. That removable pocket is insane, such a good idea! I always wish I can just grab my essentials and run out of the car for a quick errand but I end up kind of juggling everything and then feeling dumb for not just taking the whole bag. I love the contrasting suede of the pocket, it adds another layer of dimension and texture. It is called a frame bag but it technically isn’t, it is a doctor’s bag with the metal trim around the opening’s edge to make it look like a frame, which makes it easier to open so I’m fine with that. This bag will become a part of you as you get comfortable with it and throw it around – it’ll look even better all beat up! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1985.
