To Have and to Hold
Park your cross-body messengers and shoulder satchels! The arm candy—or should we say, hand candy—du jour is the sturdy top-handle bag, as seen dangling from the manicured model fingers on the runways of Carven, Diane von Furstenberg and Dolce & Gabbana. As ladylike as it is structured, the stylishness of this revamped breed of bag is eclipsed only by its functionality—think of how neatly nestled your iPad/keys/phone/Moleskine will be within those boxy walls! Grab 'n' go has never looked more stylish.
