Villagetote
With the mod look so strong this season, red bags are everywhere, competing with white for the title of 'most stylish but impractical colour of the season'. A better choice than fire engine red is a dark cranberry or scarlett. Cole Haan's simple 'frosted cranberry' village pocket tote ($225) is a great subtle shade and has a practical, timeless shape. You'll be carrying this for years (unlike that red patent number you've been eyeing up for weeks).
