Canvas and Leather: We Belong Together

Jennifer Romolini

This is my absolute favorite obsession for summer: vintage canvas-and-leather bags. They are just so cool-looking—part old-school professor, part Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient, part French lady from the '70s. I love that you could wear them with wide-leg jeans and a tank or a really ladylike shirtdress and they'll look equally good.

Here are some of my top picks today: a beat-up-just-enough Ghurka clutch, this gorgeous piece from Valentino Garavani, a sunny-preppy purse from Etienne Aigner, and—oh my, if I had the money—this outstanding/ridiculous Hermès style.
