Where did all the totes go? The latest releases from a lot of the major house seem to have one thing missing, or at least shrunk down to nothing - Handbags, specifically totes. Gucci might have released a lot of leather clothes recently, but where did the totes go?

At  their recent ready-to-wear unveiling, at Milan Fashion Week, except for the occasional clutch, and some squashy, ostrich totes, the catwalk was hardly overloaded with handbags. Cashmere coats, half-belted at the back, lean coats with fur collars, and square, boxy jackets, came with taut trousers, flaring slightly at the ankle; mix-tinted fox jackets, a sable jacket interwoven with suede, and a camel-hair coat with knitted mink lining. Boring boring boring - where are the bags?

Further afield, the leather totes are shrinking like this Lock-It Work-It clutch by Juicy Couture.
