Sling around a suede purse by The Row

So many factors go into making the ever elusive 'perfect' purse, but we might have finally found it!

You know what we mean right? It has to be the right weight and size-- not to big, but not to small either. It has to feel comfortable on your shoulder, and look nice while still keeping your things organized.

It's exhausting!

But alas! Upon us we have Ashley's purse by none other than The Row (of course)!

Ashley's buttery smooth suede shoulder bag is a streamlined, understanding of all our needs.

It is both structured and slouchy, not too fussy, but roomy enough to carry all our essentials.

The designing duo's luxury fashion line is a study in subtle sophistication and this purse is evidence to that. While it will set you back a whopping $2800, be confident in that you'll be making a timeless investment.

So click right to buy Ashley's shoulder bag now from Barneys.com.
