Article (news)

<div><em>Welcome to the latest installment of <a href="https://metro.style/fashion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Metro.Style</a>&#x27;s shopping edit: <strong>Metro Luxe &amp; Less</strong>, a weekly series that pairs luxury fashion with its more accessible counterparts, showing you how to achieve the same look and feel across varying price points.</em><em> <strong></strong></em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759902282752BANNER.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Here&#x27;s the ultimate leather tote to carry through fall and beyond</span></span></span></div><p>This week, we spotlight the season’s most coveted companion: the roomy leather carryall. Minimalism is evolving—not into scarcity, but into intentional abundance. This season&#x27;s leather carryall isn&#x27;t about filling space for the sake of it, but about making room for a multifaceted life. Whether it&#x27;s work, travel, or off-duty errands, the oversized leather tote is answering the call for form meeting function in the most stylish way.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Reign of the Spacious Leather Tote</strong></div><p>The trend was first forecasted on the Fall/Winter 2025 runways, where powerhouses like <strong>Hermes</strong>, <strong>Ferragamo</strong>, and <strong>Coach </strong>sent out expansive leather bags in timeless palettes—<strong></strong>think saddle brown, deep oxblood, and classic black—cradled in the crook of the arm or held with nonchalance. At Hermes, the carryalls exuded heritage craftmanship with buttery, burnished hides; Ferragamo played with textures, while Coach leaned into relaxed silhouettes and everyday luxury.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759902380890RUNWAY.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"/><span class="fr-inner">On the Fall/Winter 2026 runway: Ferragamo, Hermes, and Coach</span></span></span><strong>Celebrity Stamp of Approval</strong></div><p>Off the runway, the trend is catching fire with fashion&#x27;s most-watched tastemakers. <strong>Kylie Verzosa</strong> was recently spotted at Milan Fashion Week with a chocolate brown The Row Margaux bag styled with a long sleeve top and leather pencil skirt. <strong>Kelsey Merritt</strong> has been seen pairing her The Row Margaux with leather on leather in New York.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759902555171LOCAL CELEB.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">All over fashion capital with The Row&#x27;s Margaux bag.

Whether styled with a trench, boots, or a simple tee-and-denim combo, the carryall serves as the grounding piece for every outfit.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759902848752F7m3bMQbEAAHt9k.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">BLACKPINK&#x27;s Rose at Incheon airport carrying her belted The Row Margaux 15 </span></span></span></div><div><strong>The Luxe Pick: The Row Margaux 15</strong></div><p>Crafted from smooth calfskin leather and designed with the precision of tailoring, The Row&#x27;s Margaux 15 is the ultimate expression of quiet luxury, Every detail—from the belted gusseted side panels to the sculpted top handles—<strong></strong>speaks to a refined minimalism that never chases trends, yet always feels current. The open compartment is generously sized, yet the bag maintains a sense of structure that elevates even the simplest outfits. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759903240222LUXE PICK.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">The Row Margaux 15 | approximately P272,000</span></span></span></div><div><strong>The Less Pick: Coach Empire Carryall 40</strong></div><p>For those who want the silhouette and sophistication of the Margaux without the six-figure price tag, Coach&#x27;s Empire Carryall 40 delivers in all the right ways. Made from natural grained leather, it offers that same sculptural profile and top-handle elegance with a slightly more attitude. The Empire Carryall comes with a long strap so you can use it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. The interior is just as functional—capable of holding a 13&quot; laptop, notebooks, and daily essentials. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:910px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759903291082LESS PICK.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Coach Empire Carryall 40 | approximately P48,000</span></span></span></div><p>This season, the roomy carryall emerges as both muse and mainstay. Whether you&#x27;re investing in a forever piece or finding its accessible twin, this is the bag to carry you through fall—and far beyond.</p>
