Always practical. Always presentable. And fun (when you want it to be). The Patricia Nash Witney tote is the shoulder bag you've always pictured -- but hadn't met yet.

Allow us to introduce you. The leather body (built with just a bit of slouch) is gorgeous, but feels livable and unstuffy. The drawstring design is in touch with the tassel trend, yet remains timeless. And, the burned edge finish brings a feel of finely attuned old-world craftsmanship (a Patricia Nash passion).

Oh, and a place for your phone? It has that, too, in the form of a convenient exterior slip pocket that doesn't call too much attention to itself.

Now, take a look inside. The velvety suede-like lining makes an inviting place to pop your sunglasses or wallet, while a center zip compartment creates a more organized version of a traditional tote interior (i.e. no bottomless pit here).

Thinking long-term? This is the classic-leaning carryall you'll slip on for today's quick trips and tomorrow's super-scheduled days. From Patricia Nash.
