“Giddy Up Betsey” Tote

Why not have a little fun – you’re too serious all the time. And fun is exactly what this “Giddy Up Betsey” tote, from famous and outrageous designer Betsey Johnson is all about.

Betsey Johnson infuses a little fun into everyday life with her Betseyville line of handbags. Imagine swinging this gorgeous leather bag over your shoulder and heading to the office. You can, because this handbag is roomy enough for all of your work essentials – plus a little overnight supply – a change of underwear, bra, toothbrush, face cream…not that I’ve tried ;)

Plus the fine leather bag is decked out in two monochromatic hues of brown (dark brown and saddle brown), but what I love about it are the embellishments. Never one to shy away from the bling and bizarre, Johnson adorns this bag with delicate contrast stitching, studs and an antique brass buckle. It might not sound like it matches, actually writing it down sounds like a fucking fashion catastrophe, but believe me it works.

Plus this bag has plenty of room and room to spare, with its 2 runched slide pockets. The thick leather straps measure 6 ½ inches – so you can casually swing this tote over your shoulder cowgirl – giddy up (sorry couldn’t resist)!
