Coach’s Kristin Leather Tote

Halle Berry’s carrying the new Kristin tote.

The Kristin tote from Coach features rich glazed leather that looks especially soft and supple. On the inside, you’ll find a zippered compartment, a cellphone drop and pen pockets, proving the purse’s functionality. There’s also an outside pocket for more convenient storage option that’s shut with a magnetic snap. The bag’s main compartment also employs the same snap device for instant opening and closing. The Kristin has the very en vogue chain strap handles, with a wide leather flap that goes comfortably on the shoulder.

Halle Berry seems to love this bag, she has been photographed on many an occasion toting the black version! We recommend the Kristin for those on the hunt for a bag that won’t break the bank, but still scores high marks on both quality and design.
