27 Gifts For The Woman Who Wants Nothing

These Chic, 3D Handbags Are Mesmerizing — & Practical Enough For Everyday Use

If you haven’t heard of Mlouye (pronounced me·loy), you’re in for a treat because, cliché as it may sound, its handbags are visually unlike any others. A glance at its Sera tote bags, and you’re drawn into their mesmerizing geometrical shapes. They’re all about structure, with the brand’s founder and creative director Meb Rue repurposing her industrial design background to create them.

At a fraction of the price of a luxury handbag, Mlouye embodies high quality like other designer goods but deliberately creates its functional designs to improve people’s lives. Although the handbags are crafted from Italian leather and suede, they don’t have that smooth-to-touch aesthetic luxury bags are known for. Instead, they have a striking, 3D exterior with a maze-like design that’s offered in various colorblock shades. The sides are also inspired by an accordion, as they fold inward for a stylish yet functional flair, and the bag can be expanded for more room. There is also a suede drawstring top to safely secure your belongings, which adds another fashionable but thoughtful touch.

If you’re not a fan of holding a bag all day, a detachable shoulder strap turns the handbag into a crossbody. There are so many options to choose from within Mlouye’s creations, so we’ll allow you to witness the chic bags for yourself. Ahead, browse Mlouye’s three Sera totes that deserve a treasured spot in your handbag collection.

Mini Sera Tote, $395

Are you a minimalist who only carries what you need? Great, because the mini tote is designed to hold only the essentials. Mind you, it’s noted on the site that the largest phone it can carry is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and a cardholder or a mini wallet — and maybe AirPods? The Gummy colorway has a soft rainbow hue, and there are several other colorblock options to choose from.

Sera Tall Tote Mini, $475

It’s the Sera tote you love, only taller. Unlike the standard Sera, the Sera Tall Tote Mini comes with more rounded handles and the matte gold hardware is up front instead of on the side. It even gives off a bit of a bucket bag appearance with its height, and its slightly larger stature allows it to fit an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Sera Tote, $585

If you’re in the market for a statement bag that exudes modern elegance without being flashy, this is the bag for you. Unlike the mini tote, the folded accordion top is more prominent. The biggest of all three Sera totes, it’s the perfect daily bag and can hold any phone and all your essentials.

What Makes A Handbag: Functionality Or Style?

The Most Comfortable Sweatpants According To R29 Editors & Readers

Ever since we traded in our office outfits for more casual WFH wardrobes, sweatpants have skyrocketed from the bottom drawer to the forefront of our closets. And, with winter in full effect, there's no better choice in versatile stay-at-home attire than this loungewear staple. In an effort to narrow down the best of the best, the most comfortable sweatpants, we went straight to the source: you.

We started our hunt inside Refinery29's Slack channels, where a passionate discussion ensued about which sweatpants reign supreme. We then asked our dedicated readers (aka you!) to spill the beans on which comfy pants are must-buy material — and the ensuing style recs did not disappoint. Read on to peep what we, you, and your crew are lounging in (with sweatpant-selfies included): there's everything from cotton-fleece classics perfect for working cross-legged on the couch to modern-tailored pairs stylish enough to wear with loafers for a masked coffee run.

Lululemon Scuba High-Rise Jogger Fleece

"I've had these pants for a few years and they STILL win my #1 Quarantine Sweats award. They are warm and presentable enough to wear to the grocery store but also comfy enough to hop in bed with. Most of my other sweats are under $20 and on their last leg (no pun intended), so sometimes paying extra actually goes a long way. Lululemon sweatpants are dangerous because I want to wear them all of the time, but I feel like that's how you know you snagged a great pair of sweats." –Alexandra Polk, R29 Lifestyle Writer

They're made from super soft and high-quality organic cotton by the Swedish brand Dedicated. Despite being a petite female, I wear their men’s joggers because, for one, they have much cooler prints (the style I own is currently available in a mushroom print), and secondly, I want them to be loose and oversized for maximum comfort. I rotate between the two pairs of sweatpants I own from this brand and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair. And don’t tell anyone but I basically lived in them during lockdown so I can whole-heartedly vouch for how comfy and cozy they are." –Michelle, fashion blogger

"Still not over tie-dyed fleece, the fabric of our quarantine lives, and this Creamsicle-colored pair has proven to be unusually useful in a season where a Trophy Pant is crucial (because your legs are all you can see under a big coat). The slightly cropped trouser break is great with mini Uggs and a clashy sock, and the front is cut flat enough to not puff out, while still leaving enough slack to do a Chloe Ting abs routine without any crotch ride-up." - Chelsea, R29 Staffer

Lark Adventurewear Women's Coziest Jogger

"I'm writing to tell you about the ULTIMATE sweatpants!! Lark Adventurewear's Coziest Joggers!! I have worked around fabrics for a long time, and I have truly never felt a fabric like this. They are SO SOFT, and breathable. When you put them on it's like you're not even wearing pants, I know that sounds crazy, but you have to feel it to believe it. :) They are cut so they are still stylish enough to run errands in, but also perfect for lounging and doing nothing. I have them in all of the colors that they make! Game changers!! :)" –Aire, R29 reader

Colorfulkoala Women's High Waisted Joggers

"As a mom of two who spends an embarrassing amount of time working from home in my sweatpants, I’d love to tell you about Colorfulkoala's high-waisted sweatpants. I can jog in them when I’m feeling energetic and have some spare time, and they’re also super comfy for lounging. I appreciate the high waistband because I hate having to tug up pants all day long. The pockets don’t bulge on the sides, and these pants are fashionable enough to wear without looking frumpy. They’re a little pricey for sweatpants but worth it!" –Shannon, editor of The Design Home

SY Jogger

“The SY Jogger is my favorite thing to wear during the week when I’m running around— especially as a mom and a business owner. These pants are so comfortable and transitional. I wear them all day from taking my kids to school to running meetings in my office and from catching up on errands to working out. They are built for women on the go and I need all the help I can get! Seriously, I plan on buying all of these in different colors.” –Beth, R29 reader

WEXIST Inc FW20 Unisex Black Cotton Fleece Joggers

"As a tall girl, I used to dread the thought of cold weather because finding pants long enough were too short! Of course, I could wear men's clothing but I could do without the venti crouch! So in 2020, I launched my first pair of cotton fleece joggers exclusively for tall girls. They are the best joggers ever, even better than most major retailers.  Here's why: They're made with the softest cotton fleece, they come in sizes S-4X with long inseams that range 35-39.5 inches, are shrinkage-free, have been seen on WNBA players, and are 100% made for tall women in mind. They have received over 100 reviews and remain a bestseller two years later." –Anita, R29 reader

Wild Fable High-Rise Sweatpants

"I found these sweatpants during one of my (many) emotional support trips to my favorite suburban Target. At the time, they looked like any other sweatpants I was seeing all over. But they were $15 and high-waisted apparently. I picked up the matching cropped crewneck as well and boom — just like that they became my top-tier sweatsuit. I love the way the high-waisted sweatpants look paired with the oversized cropped crewneck. I feel a tad more put together than I do when I'm wearing my saggy-butt sweatpants that I've had since the beginning of lockdown. I will be purchasing another color as soon as they're back in stock in my sizes!" –Hannah Bullion, R29 Social Media Editor

MATE Organic Terry Front Pocket Sweatpant

"While these pear-colored sweats certainly cost a pretty penny, they've proven themselves to be well worth the investment. They strike the ideal balance of being comfy enough to sleep in (crafted from a very soft organic-cotton terry) while also cute enough to dress up (thanks to a retro-style crop-flare/high-low hem). I appreciate the deep front pockets (for stuffing my always cold hands into) and the addition of a drawstring waist (that I can either loosen or tighten depending on the day I'm having). If you're still guffawing at the $$$, then consider this: all of MATE's pieces are sustainably made here in the U.S. with a localized supply chain and the use of recycled shipping practices." –Elizabeth Buxton, R29 Editor

Uniqlo Pile-Lined Sweatpants

"I literally have nothing bad to say about these Uniqlo sweatpants, which I own in charcoal grey. The price is right, the fleece lining is deliciously soft, and they magically don’t make the lower half of body look like a potato. As a 5'2" petite queen, shopping for pants (of any kind) can sometimes be a struggle, but the length of these ankle-length sweats is truly perfect." –Karina Hoshikawa, R29 Senior Beauty & Wellness Writer
