Nails are manicured, lipstick’s on straight, and jeans are hemmed to perfection.
But that purse overflows with whatever you can cram in.
That might change if you had a Jack Rabbit under your arm. The sleekly tailored, affordable purses will have any messy toter clamoring to downsize.
Designer Mollie Culligan got her start with belts, adding handbags last season. Far from the eye-popping drama of bright patent leather or heavy hardware, the purses rely on understated stitching and hidden zippers.
In shades like plum and rust, the oversize Provocateur belongs on one of Charlie’s Angels, while the Tete-a-Tete will make you proud to clutch it. If you can’t streamline, there’s the roomy Concord for holding daytime essentials. In any case, you’ll be free from overcrowding and spillage — an improvement that was long overdue.
So hop to it.
