December is here. The last month of the year is when everyone gives themselves a break from routine. It’s when you just want to break away from expectations and practicality, go a little crazy, and do things that say you are fun and to be fun. And fun is what we’re getting here, starting with these animal-design bags that have – what do you know? – back stories. – BG

LESPORTSAC X DONNA WILSON

It’s hard not to be delighted by the British textile designer’s creatures: soft toys that could have been made by a child with limited resources but a healthy imagination. Three of her iconic creations – Freddie Fox, Pia Panda and Ziggy Cat – are now on the American brand’s classic Magazine totes to bring a big smile to our faces. All in polyester, $140 each.
