Bag Of The Week: The Nuti Ostrich Hobo - Stylehive

Exotics are classic. Name one season when you'll get bored of a good python or karung shoulder bag? Never! The king of all skins, ostrich, is the choice for the crème de la crème (translation: uber-wealthy and uber-stylish) of bagistas; and Nuti is one of their go-to designers. For fall, Nuti gives us a lust-worthy top handle bag in sinful green or decadent dark brown. I like the semi-structured crescent shape €“ even though I'm really more of a satchel lover. This delightful, Italian-made shoulder bag is an ideal choice for an organized and low-maintenance gal. You're certainly not fitting folders €“ though a small notebook will work €“ in here and it would be painful to try and shove a laptop in here €“ obviously. With only one inner pocket, I recommend having one or two small clutches inside €“ one for makeup and one for tech gadgets that don't fit into the pocket. Organization aside, the vibrant suede lining is a joyful surprise. I'm sick of so-called "luxury" brands that have $2K, $3K+ price tag bags and don't give you the luxury feel inside. If you're looking for a great pre-pre-pre holiday treat, indulge in this handbag. The detailing on the handle is simply divine with a mix of snake, crocodile and minimal silver hardware. This bag will age graceful and become loose and loved with time. For my sweetheart: if you're reading this, the big milestone birthday is right around the corner! Hint, hint!!
