One of several 90s revivals, minimalism is a strong look for fall. It's all about clean lines, subdued beige hues, smooth leather and minimal hardware. 

This beige tote will create a soft balance against a dramatic print.

Military is everywhere this fall in clothes and accessories. 

Destined to be Ferragamo's next must-have creation -- yes, you will see Hollywood's best and brightest carrying this one -- this tote is finished in olive and brown calf leather.

Yep, we know it's quite pricey. But this bag truly is a classic you can use for just about every occasion for years to come. If you love good style, we consider this a solid investment (or a great thing to ask for at Christmas!).

More than you want to pay right now? No worries. We wanted to show it to you anyway because there will be plenty of bags that borrow details from this beauty -- just wait.

This hobo even comes with a detachable dog tag. The light olive leather hue with walnut leather accents and gunmetal pyramid studs will play back nicely with fall's dark olive, belted jackets.
