We are constantly looking for bags that stand out in design and are different from the norm without being crazy or horrendous. As Tim Gunn, our Fashion Buddha says, ‘there is funny and there is witty in fashion, you want to strive for witty”. What’s the difference you ask? Because funny is ridiculousness like the Bulga bag and witty is the fabulous bag pictured above. The Givenchy Bettina bag took a traditional tote shape, added straps hooked with cool hardware, and created a brilliant new silhouette. You can also un-hook the strap and it becomes a big effortless tote again, simple right? I love bags like this, simplicity in design but incredibly well thought out and ultra functional. The large outer pocket makes it easy to keep valet tickets, receipts, and other small items organized. The grey is my favorite, a neutral color that will also work with any wardrobe and style plus it will carry you into Fall. But it is also available in black, beige, and white, you can’t go wrong with any of the colors. $1,395 at Barneys New York Or call 469.221.4725 to purchase!
