SNOK! Approved: Utilitarian Beauties, Fleabags Totes

As someone who doesn't wear heels I've always depended on other accessories to fancy up an outfit: oversize rings, dressier flats, embellished headbands, and big leather bags. Thus, I've never been much of a canvas tote enthusiast (despite the collection of freebies I've been stockpiling). But the two young ladies, and fellow Brooklynites, behind Fleabags have tempted me into tote territory, with this lovely, slightly more substantial and, sigh, $450 option.
They're available in four different vegetable tanned leather shades. Check them all out in the October issue of Elle, p. 206 or simply lust over their perfect simplicity at fleabg.com, and keep an eye out for the Spring 10 collection featuring metallics and denim. I'm already envisioning farmers market visits, and Saturdays in the park. No heels necessary.

Available at:
Albertine (13 Christopher St. Between Greenwich Ave. and Waverly Pl. albertine-nyc.com)
Smith +Butler (225 Smith St. at Butler St., Cobble Hill, smithbutler.com)
