For a tote with uptown style, consider the slouchy yet structured look of the Normandie Tote.
The leather body is lovely, but what really makes this east-west bag is its rows of gathered pleats. These puckered accents see the leather slouching softly, creating a look which is feminine but modern all at the same time. The effect is so striking, I’m glad we see it continued on the back of the Normandie.
The Normandie is an oversized tote, but its clever organization ensures it never feels too big to handle. A zippered compartment runs along the center of the interior to divide the tote into three separate sections. Add a zippered pocket and a handful of open pouches for gadgets and you’re good to go.
Charles David may not have the reputation of a Chanel or a Prada, but that works in our favor. While these design houses would charge thousands for such a stylish tote, we can own this one for just $315, and even less now it’s on sale!
