Totes!

I am currently swooning over extremely plain tote bags. I just love the idea of something so unassuming and elegant in the face of all the bells and whistles and hardware evident on so many  bags.

These are bags that are just too assured in their own good looks that they don't have to yell it from the rooftops. Well, ok, maybe this red one is getting a little raucus but the others are awfully reserved and refined.

A pair of peg trousers, a plimsoll, a blazer and a slouchy t... with one of these slung over my shoulder.... Ahhh! Perfection.
