Reed Krakoff’s departure from Coach spawned an onslaught of speculation and excitement. Most people were sure that he would surpass his work at Coach with his own line, and they were right. The quality of Krakoff’s materials and craftsmanship isn’t even in the same universe as the mall vendor. This leather ribbon tote is a great example of his work.
The gray-green leather strips that make up this tote are sleek, and piecing them together in this way gives the bag a little extra texture and dimensionality, while still retaining its minimal aesthetic. The color is a very olive-gray that will go with almost everything.
The design of this tote is what’s really striking. I’m not ordinarily a fan of expensive totes. I prefer the cheap canvas ones. But this minimal iconoclast is perfect. The leather ribbons give it a bit of detail, but overall it’s pared down and ultra-chic.
If only the price for such minimal luxury weren’t so high. At $890, I find this bag to be overpriced. It’s fully lined and of very lovely quality, but it’s still just a tote.
