When I think of Tod’s, I normally think of the signature driving shoe. But Tod’s is so much more than shoes, something I have known for quite some time. What I have always loved about Tod’s handbags are the sleek lines and simple silhouettes. The designs are a well-balanced combination of masculine and feminine, making them perfect for a sophisticated business-like look. For me, that makes these pieces extremely versatile. So you can imagine my excitement when I laid eyes on the beautiful handbag you see before you- the Tod’s Cape Satchel Bag!
The Tod’s Cape Satchel sort of reminds me of a doctor’s bag. Not a true doctor’s bag, but more like a hybrid between a doctor’s bag and a tote. What sets this bag apart from other satchels are the floppy corners. If you look closely, you will see that the top corners fold around the sides of the bag, giving it a somewhat domed appearance. Those small flaps actually stay in place using magnetic closures. The end result is the illusion of a framed closure without there actually being one. This simple style also features classic rolled handles and a key fob, both of which are consistent with a sophisticated satchel. The Cape Satchel comes in a wide variety of colors and textures, but right now I am loving the cobalt blue. It is such a gorgeous color and it is perfect for adding a pop of color to an otherwise neutral look.
The Tod’s Cape is available at these locations:
Saks Fifth Avenue
Net-a-Porter
