I can never get enough Alaïa laser-cut anything, but there is Alaïa laser-cut leather and then there is next-level, drool-worthy, jaw-dropping Alaïa laser-cut python. Here is a tote guaranteed to live forever as your favorite.
While this obviously delivers seriously substantial looks, this large, classic tote feels like a feather in your hand. Python is a lightweight skin as it is, and laser-cut to perfection, it weighs roughly nothing. Which ensures you will never want to put this bag away. No need to worry about all that perforation: Alaïa knows what he’s doing, and this piece is fully backed in leather, so you won’t be displaying your life to the world. Neutral as can be, essentially hardware–free, and divinely detail-oriented: this is ultimately versatile, as well as beautiful beyond words. Plus, it comes with a solid pouch, which is super-handy! On NET-A-PORTER for $6,450.
Pair with: Like this tote, a classic red lip will never go out of style. Kevyn Aucoin’s Matte Lip Color in aptly named Everlasting is a deep shade to take you through the winter. At Neiman Marcus for $33.
