I've been thinking about and saving my pennies for Loewe's Paseo bag for quite some time now, adoring the top-handle bag's unique shape and luxurious details from the day it debuted as part of the Spanish fashion brand's S/S 23 collection back in September of 2022. Over two years later, I still haven't set enough aside to invest in one of my own—probably because it's $2900 new and I like eating out in New York City too much. I'll get there. For now, I'm seeking comfort and satisfaction in my latest find from COS, a similar-looking handbag that was just released alongside the brand's S/S 24 collection. The best part? It's just $150.
COS's Fold Micro Tote is made of genuine leather that was folded by hand to create the sculptural shape. It comes in two colors—black and white—and can be carried either with the round top handles or a detachable crossbody strap for a hands-free experience. Though it's smaller than Loewe's Paseo bag, it undoubtedly checks off many of the same boxes, making it the perfect in-the-meantime purchase while I continue to fill up my dedicated piggy bank for dreamy designer handbags. See and shop both handbags below.
