This bag from TopShop is structurally and texturally classic and simple. It's the perfect size for a day shoulder bag, without all of the adornments that can render a purse tacky or cheap.
Simple whipstitch detailing gives the bag a John Wayne Western feel and it's all the extra detaling it needs. Also, the adjustable strap with the buckle is cool and subtle addition that's convenient too! It's roomy enough to accomodate your daily dependables, but not so big that you end up bringing along everything in your apartment. Plus, we love the color of the rich and truly chocolate-y leather.
No huge label, no tassles, no useless gold hardware just a well made, basic, brown leather bag that you will wear well and often. This bag can go anywhere you go and with almost anything you could wear.
Where to Buy - Topshop
Price - $40.00 (was $80)
