One for the Road

Onna Ehrlich Handbags

8 a.m.: Bikram. Sweat out “go hard or go home” happy hour.

10 a.m.: Arrive at work. The grunt kind.

12:30 p.m.: Lunch with (ugh) Connie the Contractphobe.

2:30 p.m.: Regroup. Window staring commences.

4 p.m.: Hour of doom.

6 p.m.: Haircut. It’s. been. too. long. (So smirks passive-aggressive hairdresser.)

You’d say keeping it together was the problem, but what’s really weighing you down is the mind-numbing monotony. Time to start carrying around a shot of much-needed exotica. Like a purse by Onna Ehrlich, super-soft ostrich and leather designs that cure the handbag humdrums.

Tote towels and bottles in the cinched Sac Croco. Turn heads with a swing of the all-business Francoise Croco bowler. Classics like Karen (hoboish shoulder bag in colors like navy, tomato, and chocolate) and Chris (tasseled clutch in royal blue, white, and black, among others) just might make your stylist come to you at the end of the day.

Provided you can fit her in.
