I love buffalo plaid. It’s almost always red and black, which is my favorite color combination, and I’m already a pretty big appreciator of plaid, both on my person and on the persons of male-type people. Considering that, my affection for the Jack Spade Dipped Buffalo Check Utility Tote isn’t exactly shocking. If you or your man is sick of staid, neutral man bags but still want a classic look, this tote is a perfect option.
Plaid enjoys periods of particular favor (like the one we’re having right now), but it never falls all the way out of style, even in down years. It’s sort of like leopard print, in that way; a thing that is so familiar, so endemic to the fabric of fashion and style, that it almost becomes a color unto itself. It’s also a cold-weather staple, so even though spring styles are starting to arrive in stores, you’ll still have plenty of actual time left in winter to carry this well-priced tote. Buy through East Dane for $275.
