An eye-popping woven finish helps this brown Serena tote stand out from the crowd.
I’ve never seen a weave quite like this. It reminds me of those optical illusion illustrations we’d stare at as children. In fact, I find myself getting just as hypnotized as I gaze at Cole Haan’s tightly woven surface!
Cole Haan ensures the weave is the star by keeping the rest of the Serena simple. Its shape is very traditional, and its Woodbury brown a classic. Cole Haan offers us a few more color options, but I think the Serena looks its best in neutral hues. Black and sandlewood work fine, but in lairy beet there’s just a bit too much going on.
It’s interesting that Cole Haan calls this Serena a small tote, because I can’t imagine wanting any bigger! Any larger and it might overwhelm an outfit, or your body. We’re certainly not wanting for storage space here.
When you consider that Bottega Veneta charges four-figure sums for its esteemed woven leather accessories you realize just how affordable the Serena is. At $397.50 it doesn’t even feel like a compromise!
