I was at Nordstrom today, and I found myself browing at the Cole Haan handbags. Cole Haan handbags never really caught my eye but I always thought the shoes were exceptional. When I came across the Cole Haan “Whitney Belted Tote” I was in shock! I actually really liked it! The color was fabulous, and the buckle featured on the handbag made it look that much more stylish.

Even though I think the tote is adorable, I’m not sure how much I would wear it. It definitely doesn’t look like a bag you could carry around all year round. I would probably only use this bag in the Fall, and that’s it. I don’t wear much brown, and when I do I’m always carrying around one of my Louis Vuitton “Monogram” handbag’s.

For some reason, this handbag has New York written all over it to me. This looks like a handbag I would see some fashionista in New York carrying around especially around the Soho area. If you collect handbags, this would be a lovely addition to any collection. I’m just not sure how many times a bagista would carry around a brown handbag that has gold accents on it. Overall though, it is a stunning handbag and would be perfect for the upcoming Fall season.

The Cole Haan Whitney Belted Tote can be purchased at Nordstrom for $428. I think the price tag is way too high for this handbag. I would of guessed that it cost around $250, and no where near over $400. It’s a stylish handbag, but the price is way too high.
