Cole Haan Large Paige Convertible Tote, Handbag of the Day

The deep bottle green color is what attracted me to Cole Haan’s Large Paige Convertible Tote because it is fairly uncommon, with most designers favoring neutrals, blacks and other standards for their large bags. The bag is made of soft, supple leather and has shoulder strap that converts this from a day bag to one that is a little more convenient for traveling or just for carrying a laptop around. It has a magnetic snap closure at the top opening, just above the cinching belt, and two small zip pockets on the front in addition to several small interior pockets. The tote measures 17″ L x 14 1/2″ W x 6″ D. Price: $425.
