If you are looking for exquisitely made, under the radar elegance in your accessories, might I suggest taking the time to discover @moynat. I recently became the proud owner of one of the brand’s Quattro totes. What I love about it, besides the unmistakable quality of the leather used and the solid construction - is its unique shape and atypical color combos. I mean it takes a certain sort of sophistication and daring to combine the colors of blush pink and khaki in one bag. The bag does come in different shapes and sizes. But I love the “Vertical” version. Maybe it’s because I feel so at ease with the vertical shape (thanks Instagram stories) or the way it so perfectly holds my MacBook Air. Somehow it looks both cute and professional.
Speaking of professional, the fact that this bag is reversible also makes it ideal for my globe trotting life. A life endlessly spent trying to fit everything into a carry-on bag. It is so easy to turn the bag inside out, back and forth, until I figure out which hue works best with my outfit.
I also have to give a big shout out to designer @rameshnair_ for his clever choice to create two sets of handles. One short, so the tote acts like a handbag, and a longer one for some over the shoulder action. And for those of you that are always concerned about bags that have no closers, well Ramesh thought of that too. All you have to do is weave the bigger handles through the smaller ones and - voilà - the bag closes up beautifully.
Here, instead of me posing with both versions of my Quattro bag I thought I would let my two kittens Sven (in the khaki) and Maxscu (in the blush pink) make the bag look even more adorable! And you can see - in action - the transformation of this wonderful tote bag just below!

💎 Too Cool For The Summer

My Parisienne born daughters want me to snap up this vintage “Bob” (AKA Bucket Hat) at the Brocante in town this week.
The bucket hat is having a big fashion comeback this summer. And if you can get your hands on one that is vintage, or even better, features the logo of a well know or hipster brand, well that just makes them that much cooler.
The hat was first crafted at around the turn of the 19th and original was made from wool felt or tweed cloth (today a thick cotton is the norm). And thanks to the lanolin in the raw wool the hats- back in the day - were naturally waterproof, which made them very popular with fishermen.
They first became a fashion accessory in the 1960 and are having a Renaissance right now. I also happen to think they look as good on a woman in her 40s as it does one in her 20s. All you need to really make it work is to pair it with a big smile!

What is great about these beauties is that their slide on design makes it so that they don’t pinch the ear. Rather, it’s more like a friendly hug. An embrace you are happy to have all day.
