Size Matters

When you bought that oversized hobo, you figured your life of convenience was just beginning. After all, it had room for keys, lipstick, BlackBerry, phone, and yoga clothes.

But then you tried to squeeze onto the 8:50 Brown Line with the thing, and convenience evaporates.

Lose the load and check out Susan Fitch handbags. The signature Camille clutch has been updated for spring and now comes in the very here-and-now shades of white pearl and platinum. Fitch has added six new styles to her collection. Our favorite: the Chase, a structured handbag in a platinum lambskin with white pearl trim.

No need to worry: She hasn’t ditched her vintage inspirations for a shiny, flashy future. The muse for all of her designs remains old-school Hollywood glamour. Big enough for all the essentials. Small enough for evening escapades.

Just the thing to finally get you off the platform and in the door.
