if i were only going to buy one bag this spring, i think it just might be this one. i'm loving the clean lines, lack of hardware (nothing to snag delicate spring fabrics) and honestly, what says spring more than linen and white? but it's not completely demure - there's a little touch of fun here, as the linen has a metallic sheen to it. overall, i see this being a bag you'd reach for all spring, summer, and again next year (and perhaps even the year after that). in my new approach to fashion of looking for classics, this beauty definitely fits the bill.
