I’ve been looking for the perfect tote all summer and I’ve come up short because all the ones I’ve seen either are of the cheap canvas variety or they’re too structured and briefcase-like. But this Gunmetal Shoulder Bag by Deux Lux is just perfect. The classic tote shape is what I need to carry all my papers and stuff, but the edgy, metallic color keeps it from looking to matronly. There’s a zip top which is another characteristic that’s usually hard to find in a tote. And the cluster of glittery gems on the front gives the bag a bit of bling without being too gaudy or old-lady-like. And it’s on sale for $137! (Measures 12½” x 5½” x 13″).
