Cole Haan is very good at making certain types of bags. The Genevieve is a design the label returns to again and again, and this complex plaid patterned tote is probably one of my favorite versions.
The plaid of this triangle tote, although clearly based on traditional plaid and woven designs, is incredibly creative. Some won’t like the combination of pale tans and olive greens, but I think the gently metallic shades combine to make a design that is, quite frankly, gorgeous. It is complex at the same time as being modern, an effect that I think is very hard to carry off.
Metallic may not be the most summery set of colors, but in combination with a woven pattern and casual shape it offers a great way to go straight from day to night. The shape too emphasizes this, being spacious enough yet at the same time compact enough for both parts of the day.
The price is the only thing that puts me off about this bag, but if you are willing to pay the $395 then this Genevieve should see you happily from summer to winter.
