With a postmodern minimalist flair, Halston has reinvented the tote bag. It’s not hard to see how the Post Tote got its name!
The crescent shape reminds me of a hobo bag, but there’s none of the slouchiness we associate with that style. The textured leather gives the handbag a little more structure, but the profile is still soft enough to evoke a boho-chic vibe. Hippie chicks will probably opt for the earthiness of this coral red, which is closer to orange than scarlet. The sunshine yellow and electric pink options have more of an 80s feel, which may suit those relishing the current taste for retro.
Whatever shade floats your boat, the Post Tote is perfectly sized for everyday use. It’s not too small, but it’s not as overwhelming as those oversized bags we’ve seen so many of. It’s a good thing too, because the single zippered pocket and keychain won’t keep much organized. The shoulder strap is extendable, allowing us to wear the Post Tote cross-body style for an authentic flower power look.
The greatest stumbling block for most of us is the price. It may be stylish, but $1422.85 seems exorbitant for such a simple bag.
