I hadn’t taken a look at the Cole Haan web site in a while, but after receiving an e-mail a couple days ago, I decided to head on over and look at their lovely handbags. Under their New Arrivals is this satchel ($335) from their Village Collection.

Of course, you know I love satchels anyway, but I think this is a classy-looking one and it comes in a nice variety of colors—Hot Chocolate, Copper Wash, Saffron and the ever-popular Black. I particularly like the Hot Chocolate, but the Saffron is growing on me.

Measuring 16″ l x 9.5″ h x 4.5″ d, it has several pockets inside and is accented nicely with custom hardware. I like how the color of the hardware differs depending on which color of the purse you choose; instead of keeping a standard hardware color for each version of the bag, the hardware and leather colors work together, allowing each bag to have the best combination. It’s another example of how details are very important in design.
