If there's one thing Dolce & Gabbana has never believed in, it's being basic.

The Miss Escape Tote takes one of the Italian house's eternal signatures, leopard print, and turns the volume all the way up. The rich brown and black animal motif sits beneath a high-shine transparent coating, finished with glossy black trim, long shoulder handles and gold-tone hardware.

And then come the details: a gold Dolce & Gabbana Via San Damiano 7 Milano plaque at the front and two long leather ties ending in tiny black tassels. Because apparently leopard and patent shine weren't quite enough.

The oversized tote construction opens to a spacious black textile-lined interior with an interior zipped pocket and additional slip compartments, making this one of those precious statement bags that can actually carry your entire life.

Bossa Notes: Leopard print, glossy PVC, gold hardware AND tassels. Dolce & Gabbana really said why choose one. This is exactly the kind of gloriously excessive bag that makes us miss 2000s Italian fashion. It's big enough for your laptop, makeup bag, emergency pair of sunglasses and whatever else you insist on carrying around, but somehow the leopard print is still the main event. Wear it with an all-black look and pretend you're being understated. You're not. That's the point.
