Bag of Tricks

Sissi Rossi Handbags Fall Collection

You buy a handbag and can’t wait to wear it. But only if the sun is shining, except not so much to make you perspire on all that expensive leather.

Stop daintily schlepping around that bag you’re afraid to mess up and grab a Sissi Rossi instead.

We’re loving the new collection from the Italian purse line. The slouchy look pairs perfectly with the muted color palette (slate blue, pumpkin, forest green). And particulars like tied leather straps and precisely placed zippers bring attention to the smallest detail.

For fall, the softest leathers cohabitate with durable nylon (how’s that for beating inclement weather?). You can even throw them in the wash (on very gentle) to freshen them up.

Making a mixed bag something you could get used to.

Available at Barneys New York Co-Op, 1811 Walnut Street (215-563-5333 or barneys.com). To see styles, go to sissirossi.it.
