This gorgeous Frye handbag is part of their last call sale and if you’re looking for a beautiful bag that incorporates the ’stud’ trend that’s prevalent this season, you’re going to want to scoop up this bag!

The Frye Softy Tote is available in two colours, Buttermilk and Dark Brown. It’s such a cute bag with its  roomy hobo shape, gathered detail and cool studs on the handles and front.  This is a versatile bag, perfect to take with you to work and run errands in.  If you already have a dark brown bag, I would definitely go for the buttermilk colour. It will look fresh and new now during the fall and even better during spring and summer next year.

Right now the price is listed at $210 but with the extra 25% off it’ll be $157.50! That’s a ridiculous deal for a bag that was originally $468!  Love it? Get it before it’s gone at Neiman Marcus

Fabulous and Affordable Frye Softy Tote

Pleats are showing up as an interesting detail in quite a few different accessory collections.  They can be formed by sewing them into the leather or fabric, or just when the bag straps are adjusted a certain way.  Some designers are putting little pleats all over the purse, or just a couple of big ones to make a statement.

And some purses have pleats that really, seriously should have been reconsidered (link may be somewhat NSFW).

Luckily, the good pleats outway the bad – and if you want to try some pleated purses on for size, here are some lovely ones:

The “Garnet” pleated purse by Coach, made with purple leather and silver hardware.

The pleated & studded hobo by Treesje in either black or grey, with removable handles.

Go for elegant simplicity with Nordstrom’s house brand glazed leather pleated hobo, available in black, purple and teal.
