Out with the old, in with the new! If you’re anything like me, you’re always striving to be more fashionable — especially around the new year. Some people set goals to exercise more, eat healthier and drink more water, but I’m already consistent in those areas. What I’m choosing to focus on this year is looking chic, sophisticated and put-together at all times.
Contrary to popular belief, however, looking “put-together at all times” doesn’t require shelling out half a paycheck on new clothes or wiping your closet clean and starting over. All you need is a new accessory! But it can’t be just any accessory. If you’re looking to elevate your look tenfold this year, check out this ultra-luxe Italian-made handbag. It’s perfect for day-to-day and special occasions alike!
This tumbled leather bag is a splurge well worth it. The Sweet Pea Tote is ultra-versatile, serving as a tote, handbag and crossbody bag in one. To make this bag a crossbody purse, simply attach the adjustable clip closure and adjust the strap to your liking. You can even wear it as a shoulder bag if you wish!
The tote has tea-stained leather edges, eloquent stitching, shiny gold hardware and soft pebbled leather material that looks (and feels) expensive. Inside are zippered pockets and plenty of compartments for storage, perfect for those of Us who like to bring everything everywhere we go. Luckily, the bag itself is shockingly lightweight. At 11 inches tall, 11 inches long and eight inches wide, this tote is the perfect size for 5-foot-something tall women like myself.
To dress it up, try pairing this bag with dress pants, a blouse, a trench coat, loafers and plenty of gold jewelry. You can even wear it with dresses for fancy occasions like weddings, baby showers and birthday parties! I also dress it down for an athleisure style, wearing it with a matching set and chunky white sneakers. The sky’s the limit when it comes to styling!
There are four different colors to choose from. Whether you prefer neutral colors like black and beige or bright ones like yellow and green, there’s a bag for you! Chances are you’ll want one of each after you try out this bag. “This is such a wonderful bag. The color, the feel of the leather, the interior convenience, etc.,” one reviewer writes. “I am so pleased with this size and probably will buy this bag in other colors because I love it so much. This was my seasonal prize,” she says.
