All Along the Watchtower

Vigilant Handbags

If Posh and Sporty had a love child [insert Baby Spice joke here], you’d like to think she’d remind you, of, well, you. Sophisticated and sexily aloof one minute, all track pants and flirty ponytail the next.

Fortunately, Vigilant handbags go both ways — at the same time. Juxtaposition in an accessory, the line mixes exotic skins and leathers with industrial materials to create bags that you’ll be able to wear from Publix to Privé.

If you’re just a keys/wallet/lip gloss kind of packer, go for the Emilia duffel. Available in six styles, we love it in white perforated polyamide (kind of like a basketball jersey) with a yellow leather handle and trim, and also in classic black with a quilted, satiny exterior and canvas liner. For the spare shoes/War and Peace/band saw toter, we recommend the Ballestra in cielo blue or the reversible Madison.

Isn’t it great when two become one?

Available at Oyuki, 7418 Biscayne Boulevard (305-403-1500 or oyukionline.com). To see styles, go to vigilantleathergoods.com.
