The true test of any fashionista is her ability to mix things up, don’t you think? Those girls who wear a brocade jacket with Converse sneakers and don’t let anyone doubt her decision.
Ask said fashionista what her secret to style is, and there’s a chance she might not tell you. But all the rest of us have to do is look closely: the nubby tweeds, the sharp snakeskin, the shiny patent leather. Standing out is all about texture.
A good place to start? The Matt and Natt Neko tote. This handbag is beautifully rendered in studded, braided, and pleated patent leather. Inside, a 100% recycled plastic bottle lining holds cell phone and zippered pockets for all your essentials. It’s subtle enough to go with almost anything, but it’s the clusters of studs around the hardware, the braided strap, and the pleated body that make it special.
With this tote and oh, whatever you dream of, expect major compliments. Maybe not just on the bag, but a more general, “Gosh, how do you do it?”
