Late-summer getaways call for something more polished than a tired L. L. Bean pack, and more inspired than the ubiquitous Longchamp bag. In the search for a better weekender, we rediscovered Newbury Street’s 1154 Lill Studio. The roomy Lilli tote is one of the custom-handbag shop’s bestselling basics, but a slew of updated fabric and trim options turn it into something fresh. Lilli tote, $159; 220 Newbury St., Boston, 617-247-1154, 1154lill.com.
