Oh Brazil - Daily Candy

You don’t have any hard evidence. But you’re pretty sure your handbag is slowly trying to kill you.

What else are you supposed to think with all that heavy metal hardware and stiff leather digging into your shoulder, banging your hip, and weighing you down?

Dautore, a new Brazilian line of handbags, offers a comforting alternative: bags made from the softest, supplest leather with minimal but stylish details.

Oh, and they’re good looking, too. The slouchy, oversize shoulder bag has an arm cutout that will complete any rock-chick outfit. The crescent-shaped bag seems to wrap around your arm and has just one piece of well-placed hardware. And the rectangular bag in burnished brown will doubtless be your everyday go-to carryall.

Swing one of these over your shoulder, and you’ll never be stuck sacrificing comfort for style.

Which, as you know, can really be murder.
