There’s this Italian designer name that carries a collection of superb leather goods in a large array of eye-catching colors. Owning a couple of these Italian leather babies can cause trouble in the pocket book and quarrels with the significant other. Let me emphasis that these alternatives are by no means superior enough to replace the infamous B-Bags; but they’re a fun and marginal pick for the color-grasping bagista.

These slouchy leather totes do just what they appear to. They’re large enough to store books, a laptop, or any extra day essentials. An uncomplicated and chic rectangular frame with double rolled leather handles, allows for a simple light weight wear of this leather tote. Besides their simplicity, what caught my attention about these Halogen totes are the vast choices of colors you can pick from. Choose from seven vibrant hues, the metallic bronze version or from two of the embossed python print leather totes. These soft leather totes are not only versatile but carry a price tag that’ll fit anyone’s budget. Come to think of it, Halogen totes are at least 1/15th of the price of a B-Bag; depending on what style you’re looking at. Great to gift or to try out a new hue in, the Halogen totes are available for purchase at Nordstrom, for $98.
