Yesterday, I could not stop thinking about how much I liked the Brian Atwood Randall clutch featured, and how much I hated the fact that it was a clutch…I need the use of both my hands, dammit!
I am nothing if not tenacious (I once needed a baby’s tee shirt in a particular color and unable to find one, I dyed it myself), so I set about finding something that might fit the bill. Fortunately, the search was not long, and I did not have to make a bag myself…
The Tod’s Took Multitashce Media shoulder bag, in grained leather does not have the same sex appeal as the Randall, but with it’s multiple outer pockets it does capture what I called the “Dressy Bessy factor” of different closures for the mosaic of pockets. This has a simpler zip top, and pockets that close with T signature push locks. The locks look like stylized versions of attache case locks which gives it a freshness compared to other hardware locks in the market. The whole bag has an almost briefcase feel, a look I’ve been noticing a lot of around.
There is also plenty of interior room, so no need to edit down my usual assortment of un-necessities that I like to keep with me at all times, as well as brass feet, so i don’t have to worry about setting it down anywhere.
The Took Media bag is $1550 (tell me if you find a more affordable version), and available as shown from eLuxury. Saks has it in a less distressed looking camel color for the same price.
