Cole Haan puts a chic spin on the drawstring bag with this elegant Kendal tote.
The secret is the luxury leather, which gives subtle slouch rather than untidy bunching. The conservative colors also dress things up. Cuoio brown and black may not be showstoppers, but they do offer the kind of understated elegance that doesn’t age. The long leather tassels which hang from the drawstring offer enough whimsy to please younger fashion fans, without making the purse look too childish.
The Kendal isn’t just another good-looking handbag with no substance. It may be smaller than many of the totes on the market, but it’s big on practical features. The sleek side pockets are just a hint of what’s to come. They have an open top design, with zippers down the sides to make access even easier. The magnetic snap works with the drawstring for added security. The side walls are packed with pockets of the slip and zip variety to keep the clutter at bay.
The Kendal tote isn’t a trendsetter, but its timeless appeal and expert craftsmanship will last longer than any fad.
