Work bags, part four.

I love shopping for work totes and bags. It's like the Holy Grail for me: the continued search for The Perfect Bag. I want one that won't be too big but will hold everything that I need for the day, and it's got to be fabulous.

Every year it amuses/infuriates me that the fall pre-season (and the spring one, when its time rolls around) begins so soon. I can't believe that stores are already looking forward to a season that's about three months away. Summer's only just beginning, but already we're being prepped for the cold-weather buying season. Madness!

The above comments converge here: I found a gorgeous work tote while perusing Saks' site, the Miss Loop bag by Dolce & Gabbana. It's 9"H X 15"L X 5"W, and you can pre-order one for fall for $1325.00. It's a kind of taupe or putty-ish color that Saks lists as grey. Ooooh, I want one.

Here's another tote that caught my eye, the vaguely Boogie bag-ish 'Soft Calf Tote' by Marc Jacobs, spotted on the Bloomingdale's site in putty, no size given. It can be yours (or mine!) for $1095.00. Lovely, but I think I prefer the D&G above.

I also like this one from Fendi, which surprised me because, besides their Speedy-style satchel and B-bag, I'm not normally much of a Fendi fan.

Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared from the Bluefly site, where I spotted it a few weeks ago. This would make a nice bag for work tote-age. The next time I see this bag pop up (though I doubt I'll be that lucky), I'll have to jump on it!

Today's bag: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30.
