Bags of dainty sizes are making a strong comeback, and luckily, lightweight and less space fits into my lifestyle. I have been so spoiled by easy, feathery bags that the thought of dragging a hefty satchel around seems out of the question. Anyway, when bags like Jimmy Choo’s “Ruby” are cropping up to entice me, why would I even want to go big?
Stamped lizard glistens like granite; the cracks and ridges give it organic appeal. Lizard is just the kind of skin you hope to see on a small bag like this (10” by 8”), substantial so the purse has purpose. A 25” drop shoulder strap means it should work as a crossbody for most – amazing. Super-flat so it will streamline any outfit, slightly expandable once you open the flap so you can actually fit what you need inside, and so ladylike I see a plethora of possibilities. Exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue for $775.
Pair with: Do a coy play on monochrome with pale gray pants a few shades lighter than the lizard. Slouchy skinnies in rich suede by Donna Karan Casual Luxe are as fabulously versatile as Jimmy Choo’s bag. On Net-a-Porter for $1,895.
