“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
 Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing; 
’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands; 
But he that filches from me my good name 
Robs me of that which not enriches him, 
And makes me poor indeed.”

― William Shakespeare, Othello

This bag is a modern take on the ladies who lunch crocodile handbags of the ’50s. The minimalist gold hardware allows the rich color to take center stage.
