Sturdy. Soft. Supple. Sounds like a commercial for Bounty, huh?
Not quite. The Cole Haan 'Village Soft' Ruched Satchel is all three. This ultrasoft pink leather bag features a sturdy frame top and supple ruched bottom. The topstitching and banded center break up the contrasting looks.

WEK1933 'CECILE MEDIUM PEBBLE' November 21, 2006
Like the supermodel herself, Alek Wek’s 'Cecile Medium Pebble' tote carries itself with class.
This basic black oversized bucket, reminiscent of an attaché, is simply ornamented with a dashing duo of horizontal zippers. A simple adjustable strap, polished brass buckle, and sparse stud detail makes this shoulder bag highly sensible and exceedingly desirable. The line, Wek1933, was loosely inspired by her late father’s briefcase and simplicity can certainly be found throughout all the pieces, particularly the Cecile.
