Even if you aren’t much for animal print, you may find yourself drawn to this ultra-chic calf hair tote by Alaia. The subtle, voluptuous design makes a statement without looking pretentious.
While I happen to be into animal prints, I’m not always into calf hair. If it isn’t done well, it can make a simple, clean design look messy. But this bag has such a sweet, rounded shape, and the calf hair is of such indubitable quality that I just can’t resist it.
The slouchy design of this tote is almost hobo-like, but its small size keeps it from looking sloppy. Instead, it looks feminine and sophisticated. Even though this bag features a loud print in a pretty noticeable material, it’s still remarkably versatile. I can see this bag working as a statement piece in a conservative ensemble or mixing well with a glamorous evening outfit.
Despite its simplicity, this tote is one of the most eye-catching I’ve seen this season. Alaia has managed to balance the design beautifully and its attention to the smallest details, like the black edging on the foldover flaps, makes the bag seem almost like a work of art, instead of just a handbag.
