Although totes are all the rage this spring, a true fashionista can not survive with tote alone. No matter how many seasonal trends sit in our closet, there has to be a few classics sprinkled in to balance things out and make you one with your fashion zen.

Enter the smaller shoulder bag, which has been largely ignored due to this season's obsessions with totes so large they can almost double as a gym bag. Shoulder bags are always a safe bet, no matter what kind of handbag is flying off of shelves. And who better to do the eternal handbag right than one of the masters of classic himself, Marc Jacobs.

Unfortunately, a Marc Jacobs bag like this gorgeous and roomy Irina also comes with a Marc Jacobs price tag. At $995, this will be the only bag gracing your shoulder anytime soon.

The gorgeous Baghaus Irina in white

Enter the Baghaus Irina, inspired by Marc Jacobs. Our version has a quilted pattern with contrasting topstitching, just like Marc's. But ours has a more affordable price tag. At just $42.99 each, you can afford the black, white or yellow Baghaus Irina. Or buy one and then browse some of those oh-so-hot totes. Then you will have the balance we talked about, and you will be at one with your fashion zen.
