Diane von Furstenberg makes iconic pieces that become classics almost instantly. There’s something about her clean cut bohemianism that really appeals to American women. This Alexandra pleated leather messenger is a great example of von Furstenberg’s style at its cleanest and most minimal.
This medium tan color has been very popular this season. It’s a color that I like to call “paper bag brown” and it goes with almost anything, even if like me, all you ever wear is black. The silver hardware keeps the look cool, but is totally understated.
I am not a fan of messenger bags, but I really love this one. The problem with messengers is that they’re often way too utilitarian to be stylish. Well, not the Alexandra. It’s equal parts practical and attractive. The size is generous enough to be a perfect bag for the office, but it’s reasonably sized so that you won’t feel like your laptop is luggage.
The Alexandra is what business casual should look like. And at $525, it’s priced low enough that even discount mavens might be willing to make the investment.
