I’m normally a big fan of Ted Baker and his immaculate, well-priced handbags. The designer’s Aronia Briefcase Shoulder Bag, however, leaves much to be desired. I have a feeling it could have been a real beauty, but it falls short because of the faux ostrich handle (which just looks tacky) and the lackluster leather. Imagine what a slightly pebbled finish and a little more hardware could have done. Available for $295 at Nordstrom.
