Top 5 Basic Blacks, Revamped: Dark Side of the Moon

If even the words “black bag” are enough to make you hit the snooze button, then consider this your wake-up call. As you know, Fall 2012 is all about going back to black, and while red clutches get my pulse racing, I have to admit these new bags, from your everyday tote to party-time crossbody, are giving color a run for its money. 

1. Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Lizard-Effect Leather ToteYou know and love the chic Cabas Chyc, and now it’s even more sophisticated in dark-as-night off-black with a reptilian effect.
On Net-a-Porter for $2,895.

2. Alaïa Embossed Leather Shoulder BagForget the cutouts of summer and opt for more coverage, yet stay in keeping with Alaïa’s touchably embossed trademark pattern.
On Net-a-Porter for $1,445.

3. Givenchy George V Ball Chain Apron BagBear your cross in a subtle way. Nobody does hardcore luxe like Givenchy and this everyday tote will keep you looking strong.
At Barneys New York for $2,245.

4. 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Weekender: I’m usually not big on fuzzy-wuzzy bags, but Lim’s is streamlined and playful, a rare combination.
At Barneys New York for $1,450.

5. Miu Miu Studded Crossbody BagChains and studs and metal galore may sound like a whole lot of hardware, but this is a case when there is no such as too much of a good thing.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,295.

  2. This is without doubt a site that people need to get behind. The problem is, no one wants to do a huge deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This is the internet, after all. Maybe if you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR SURE. But, I dont know if others will.
