Myriam Schaefer Primo Small Open-Top Bag: Take the Plunge

Myriam Schaefer Primo Small Open Tote

It’s called the Primo for a reason: bags don’t get much more beautifully made than this. Myriam Schaefer is understated Parisian quality at its best. And with a little wink of whimsy, courtesy of the circular cutouts (inspired by vintage watch straps from the 1930s), it doesn’t take itself too seriously. The price, on the other hand, is no joke. But a bag this timeless and unique is worth it.

I have been seeking the perfect open-top tote. Sometimes I just need the convenience of no buckles, zippers, straps, or hardware to fiddle with; just let it stand square and structured and plunge right in when you need to get something. Another slick detail? The optional shoulder strap has a cool way of connecting. D-rings are position deep inside the bag, so you don’t see any excess junk. The result is a cool, clean effect. Don’t be deterred by the innate boldness of the color. Red is actually a true neutral. Just own it and own it. When you’re rocking an unapologetic hue, be as daring as can be. Trust me, it only gets better!

At Bergdorf Goodman for $5,340.

Pair with: Keep sophistication levels high with a grownup sandal. Reed Krakoff seamlessly blends rubberized nude and black patent leathers for an intriguing take on neutrals.

On Net-a-Porter for $595.
