Alexander McQueen’s cult favorite De Manta tote laced up! The sexy stitching gives the simple black leather tote (on Net-a-Porter for $1,795) edgy appeal. Its huge size, however, makes it more suitable for travel. Or maybe for a woman who needs a spacious bag to take her from the office to happy hour. You’ll appreciate how the modern, geometric form (inspired by the hexagonal shape of a manta ray!) and the signature magnetic closures keep the look of such a large bag from seeming out of control. For those who treat their bag like a second home, it’s really perfect!
Pair with: A pair of woodwork Proenza Schouler wedges will make your basic black look more distinct.
