My all time favorite Diane von Furstenberg bag is the Harper.  I love the different styles of the Harper, and the thoughtfulness behind the design of the bag.  I was excited to discover a more casual version – the Harper Anna Burlap Tote.  It’s the perfect summer bag!  I can see myself wearing it everyday to work, and also traveling with it.  I am planning a weekend trip soon, and this bag would be perfect!  It is made of natural burlap with black leather trim, golden hardware and leather bottom.  It has the DvF signature metal pocket that all Harpers have, and a chain and red leather shoulder straps.  Additional features include open top, interior zip and open pockets, and tonal burlap lining.  Price: $525.00 at Neiman Marcus.
