Add a touch of luxury to your everyday outings with this Irene Tote from Badgley Mischka.
Subtle snake embossed handles and tabs make this tote feel more indulgent than the average black leather bag. Badgley Mischka’s restraint is one of the keys here. Bags that employ exotic embossing throughout tend to look like poor imitations of the genuine article. But by using the effect sparingly, Badgley Mischka’s ensured its Irene maintains its elegance.
Those snake trimmed tabs don’t just add style to the design; they work with the twist-lock closure to help the bag expand. In regular mode it should suit everyday use, but the extra inches could see the Irene serving as a great weekender or carry-on case. Personally I think it needs a few extra pockets to be truly practical once it’s expanded, but if it’s packed carefully this shouldn’t be a major concern. At least it’s easy to carry, with its rolled shoulder straps for regular use and an attachable cross-body strap for our busiest days.
The Irene has such an exotic charm that I was bowled over by its $498 price tag. That’s not a lot to spend on such a stylish everyday tote.
