It’s okay if you’re not a risky dresser. “Ashcan chic” isn’t for everyone, and some people feel (and look) way better in more conservative clothes. If you’re dying to buy into this season’s hippie style, but can’t imagine wearing a caftan, try this new bag from Deux Lux. Made with shredded leather and available in black, white, or tan, it’s boho enough to make a simple tank and jeans seem very now—and cheap enough to toss this fall, when fashion grows up once again.

$65 at Shop, 105 Stanton St., at Ludlow St., 212-375-0304.
