On a bag high: The Foley + Corrina City Tote

Foley + Corrina City Clutch, $444

I first saw this bag back home in Jakarta at Jade Boutique, Senayan City. I was out shopping with J doing our usual window lust shopping and that day in particular, we had our eyes set out on nice bags that hopefully we can reward ourselves with at the end of the year. He was after his usual Balenciaga and I just wanted a nice smelling soft calf leather bag that would go with everything. The Foley + Corrina Tote caught my eye, because it's both unconventional in shape and I loved the way you could wear it unfolded and tote it around on your arm, or folded as a chic messenger bag. Plus it was the type of leather that I loved a la Marc Jacobs, yet it's not as pricey. 

The color I tried on was a sort of gunmetal purple which was complementary, but looking online there seems to be an array of colors and new concepts that this bag is taking on.

Foley + Corrina Maple City Tote, $485

This may be just the bag I'll splurge on this year. Loving the Maple, Fuschia clutch and the contrast between Pewter and natural canvas.
Foley + Corrina Mini City Tote, $375
