dkny-bags.jpgFrench grain leather is one of those fabrics that can transform the most ordinary of bags (even the humble shopping tote) into an accessory with class. It works well on this DKNY shopeper, which also benefits from its Chanel-style chain link strap and gold toned closure.

Totes that look like anything more than glorified shopping bags are difficult to find, and in many cases I'd recommend simply going with a casual canvas bag when that's what you're after. But in this case, this is a piece that could double up as a smart handbag. A rare find!
