If you can’t afford a genuine Chanel or Marc Jacobs creation, perhaps these Pattern People totes may be more your speed. They pay tribute to Marc and Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfield with their bold black illustrations.
The portraits of these design visionaries are paired with appropriate surroundings: the Eiffel Tower and pearl necklaces for haughty Karl and the Doc Martins and plaid skorts of the grunge era for Marc. The designs are handpainted on eco-friendly cotton canvas.
Each tote measures a sizable 18 x 15 inches, so there’s plenty of space for carrying groceries from the markets or your towel and togs to the beach. These are the occasions when a luxury designer handbag just won’t do, so it’s nice to have an alternative that’s just as chic.
And while the genuine Chanel and Marc Jacobs creations could easily cost a four-figure sum, these sassy totes retail for just $45. They’re available exclusively from Hintmag.com’s online store.
