The straw bag goes in August. By late October, the bag that replaced it leaves too.
A summer idea
An open tote suits a September afternoon. Dark, damp evenings and crowded trams ask the bag to close.
The texture stays
Weaving leather is an old Veneto habit. The look of straw survives, in a sturdier material.
One shade darker
Cognac and sage give way to black, olive and grey, colors that sit quietly against a coat.
Smaller, closed, closer
A zip, a flap, a turn-lock. Under the arm, in the hand, or across the body.

As the days get shorter, so does the list of what you carry.
