Cole Haan's G-series suede tote is another example why belts should stay on your waist and off your bags. Belts were invented to hold up your pants, not to give shape to an ugly bag that has no hope of seeing the light of day on my arm EVER. As if the hideous wide belt is not offensive enough, it's made of fake croc that doesn't even try to look real. I am very disappointed in Cole Haan, we applauded them for their line of cheap and chic bags last season but in this case, cheap is definitely not chic (and it's actually not that cheap which makes it even more useless). $525 at Neiman Marcus.
Cheap is not always Chic

I loved some of Cole Haan's bags last season. This bag is just plain awful all around. The style is bad and it looks terribly cheap.
This makes me think of belts over leotards, a la Jane Fonda. What is the belt holding up? It's a leotard, it's not going anywhere.
