People, I took the plunge. Or rather, I couldn’t resist. I bought Clare Vivier’s La Tropezienne summer tote—chic, modern, a concoction of eco-tanned Italian remnant leather, minimal hardware and Vivier’s lovely named stamped in the interior.
I went to Clare’s home last night when I got word the bags were finished. EvaLotta of HiStyley was there minutes later, and we converged over the totes, which one to choose? I picked mine out, one of the darker versions, and drove home happily, my bag in the passenger seat, urging me to drive somewhere more exotic than Whole Foods…
The interior stamp, love it, too!
