Henry cuir Woven Kapok Tote: Big Bag on the Prairie

Henry cuir, take me away! It doesn’t get much more uplifting than this. The Kapok tote is oh-so sweet and summery, it makes me feel like going skipping across a prairie with a little house on it and my name is Laura.

A weave of French blue and ivory is ingeniously innocent – it looks like straw, right? But no, it’s woven leather. Amazing, huh? Nappa means you can carry this tote right off the prairie and onto city sidewalks. The two-tone check pattern looks like every one of my husband’s shirts…maybe that’s why I’m so attracted to this bag!

No need to question why just looking at it is making me feel so good. It’s gorgeous and refreshing. There is nothing wrong with that, and when will it ever be out of style for warm weather? Yes, it’s pricy for a bag that looks like straw, but this could be your summer mainstay for life. At Barneys New York for $1,835.

Pair with: Be unexpected and mix it up with a gauzy chiffon and crochet dress by Roberto Cavalli ($2,219), a floral romper by Zimmermann ($340), or a broderie anglaise skirt by Marc by Marc Jacobs ($300).
