A Lesson Well Learned

I think MJ must be reading my blog. After I saw this horror, I beseeched that he return to the basics and stop trying to set new trends. If the Marc Jacobs Mercer East-West Tote is any indication, it appears he was listening!This bag is a true classic: simple yet not boring; large enough to fit the basics yet not overwhelming. This is a bag you could use for life. This, ladies and gent, is how you mix fashion and function.

One of my favorite things about the East-West Tote is the handles - the knots are stylish but give the bag a somewhat funky vibe. In addition, the bag comes with a magnetic closure, which will allow you to get in and out easily but still deter pickpockets.

The front zippered pocket provides the perfect place to stash away your keys and cellphone. The handles are long enough to wear on your shoulder, and the bag also comes with a longer removeable shoulder strap.

Available for $1,295 pretty much everywhere:
in off-white, navy, or pistachio
