The words “basic black tote” don’t exactly conjure up very exciting images – in fact, quite the opposite. You can, however, count on Marc Jacobs to make basic look brilliant just about every time. That’s the case with the Hayley Tote, from the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection. All smooth, supple leather, it’s punctuated by just a shot of the staple gold hardware that MJ favors. With a cavernous interior and a smart little pocket on the outside, it’s as functional as it is chic. This is definitely a classic worth the expense! Find it for $500 at Net-a-Porter.
