Ever since Kate Spade’s Weekend structured brown tote, there’s two things you can be certain of.
Bigger is better. And, being square is sexy.
Sexy, classy and convenient
I think we can all agree that there is just something about a nice structured brown leather bag.
It’s oozes classy. It symbolizes style. And, it’s convenient!
As classy and sexy as these bags are, you can still enjoy throwing everything (literally) in them and running out the door.
Structured totes are perfect for weekend getaways or even running between work and gym.
This is why we adore them. They are functional and fashionable at the same. I mean, how often do we get to say that about fashion trend.
Hmmm, not often.
Sample sales, eBay, & Fairies
Kate Spades structured, weekend bags come with a hefty price tag. You may be lucky enough to catch a deal during one of those Kate Spade sample sales. Or, if you’re really nice to the purse fairies, you may find the perfect, slightly used one on eBay.
These bags are everywhere!
The great news is weekender bags are everywhere now. Yep!
Check out online handbag boutiques like Emilie M or BagInc. For very similarly, structured and unique bags for a mere fraction of the $300+ price tag that comes with a Kate Spade handbag.
Brown is okay, but…
It’s a good idea to keep a token brown handbag near. But bare in mind the spring and summer months are ahead of us. So when choosing a structured bag or tote, think COLOR.
Choose colorful structured bags and totes or those with florals, stripes and other patterned prints.
Are you a purse or handbag junkie?
Purse or handbag junkie? Trust me. I understand you. I have a HUGE fetish for clutches. I have every color and style. Some I’ve never carried and have had for years.
