Bag
After taking a little break to deal with home improvement nightmares, it feels so good to be looking at bags again. Now I see a lot of great bags out there. How exciting! One of the bags that caught my eyes is the Michael Kors “Skorpio” ring tote from the Resort 2010 collection.
I’ve seen the rectangular version before, they are pretty nice. I love the leather, the woven handles and the shiny hardware. However, it was kind of too plain Jane. I find this “Skorpio” ring tote far more interesting, even though they have similar name. First of all, I love the balloon like shape. It makes the bag look softer and more feminine compared to the usual squarish looking tote.
Second, I love how the handles are looped through the body of the bag and the grommets make it look more polished in a subtle way.
This not a very big bag, it measures only 13″W x 9″H x 7″D therefore very suitable for petites. Pre-Order from Nordstrom for $895.
Last night, when I was watching the Desperate Housewives season finale, I spotted this bag on Susan Mayer, played by Teri Hatcher. I recognized this bag instantly because of the unique woven leather combination. This bag is woven with two kinds of leather, matte and patent. (It reminds me of the Bottega Venetta Hobo, however, the Bottega Hobo has three kinds of leather woven together, matte, patent and suede and it is fabulous). The woven leather combination is pretty much the main show of the bag because the rest of it is very ordinary.
