Cole Haan Raleigh Tote | Light Beige Purse with Woven Handles

Posted on: May 25

This isn't the first Cole Haan Raleigh purse that we have featured on BagBunch, but it is definitely the smartest!

There is something about this light sandy beige color that makes it very suitable for summer wearing. Whilst we tend to migrate towards straw materials and clutch bags in the hot months, these aren't much good for when we need some function, and that is where a gorgeous spacious tote like this really comes into its own. You can fit folders in this one easily, whilst the soft leather stops you from getting too hot and bothered. We may avoid patent when summer arrives, but this woven leather and gentle sheen is very suitable.

Whilst I'm waxing lyrical, can I just say what a difference woven handles will make to tired sunburned shoulders? They are so much more comfortable! Oh, and this bag comes with an optional zipped pouch, which takes the practicality levels up yet another notch too. There are so many good things, from the crinkled leather to the light color, that I am running out of space to list them!

The real bonus? If you love this bag as much as I do then you only have to pay $171, which for a bag of this quality isn't all that much at all!
