Every Boston power dresser needs a white bag for summer, and local ­designer Meichi Peng’s ­version—“Peng No. 2.1,” in ivory calf leather—is a cool classic. Fully lined in suede with cowhide pockets, the handstitched piece takes Peng between 12 and 50 hours to complete. Best known for her ultra-modern interior designs, she learned the art of sewing while growing up in Taiwan.
