Calf Hair Shoulder Bag: Smells Like French Spirit

Jér?me Dreyfuss is a wild card (off-the-wall pockets on the “Bandit,” a beard-like fringe a la the “Lucien”), but there’s a common denominator: you can always rely on his bags to have a nonchalant appeal. Especially when they are toned-down and mellow, like the “Albert.”The Parisian designer flaunts his accidentally chic aesthetic – tres French – on this luxe shoulder bag. That’s luxe without trying too hard, to be clear (because there’s nothing chic about that!). A mix of deep brown calf hair and brushed leather makes for a sense of mystery, while leather zipper pulls add touches of scruff. With contrast bronze-yellow stitching and a hardware-heavy adjustable strap, this is the weekend casual bag for the coolest girl you know – the one who knows it’s deeply chic to lean a little grunge. On Net-a-Porter for $1,180.Pair with: Sling this over your shoulder and welcome the slouch, whether it’s via a boyfriend’s sweater or a thinly knit cashmere T-shirt. But a loose-fitted, printed dress, like Collette by Collette Dinnigan‘s embroidered cotton voile, lets you in on the grunge joke. On Net-a-Porter for $340.
