I’m kind of two minds about this Nina Ricci Ondine Tote. On one hand, I like the soft beige and simple shape – and the twisted ribbon detailing adds a quirky texture I kind of dig. It is both stylish and serviceable, but there’s nothing about it that makes my heart flutter in breathless anticipation. It is well made but it doesn’t really stand up in terms of innovation and appeal when compared to what else is available – luxe colors, new silhouettes, and a fresh perspectives.  Nina Ricci is French and old, but so is Chanel and you don’t see them relying on old standbys. Available at Barney’s for $1,950.
