If somebody were to ask me what neutral colored bag they should buy for spring (given that the coming season will primarily be all colors), it would be the Cole Haan Prudence Top Handle in Ivory.

Tell me, do you agree with me or not? Isn’t this woven bag beautiful?

The color is just perfect, the kind that would go well with almost any outfit (well, except a red carpet gown), not too white, nor too creamy. That and the soft, plush, woven leather material Cole Haan used simply makes you want to run your fingers through the bag.

And guess what my favorite part is? It’s the interior.

As a standard, the interior is lined with Cole Haan’s signature print. But what I love most about the inside is that all the pockets and compartments are trimmed with leather, so it looks more classy.

This is what I admire about Cole Haan – their attention to detail. You can tell just by looking at the interior that they invested time in making sure the bag is well-made.

As a finale, Cole Haan used first-class gold hardware to go with the Ivory color so the bag simply looks rich, refined, and elegant, rather than casual.

And at reasonable price of US$398, you know you are getting great value for your money.

You can purchase the Ivory Cole Haan Prudence Top Handle at Zappos.com. It also comes in other basic colors like Black and Peccan Distressed (a shade of brown). However, these two (2) offer a more casual appeal:
