When Beyonce is seen with your bag, you know you’re a major contender in the world of covetable bags. For Tory Burch, it’s the streetwise 797 satchel that marks her big breakthrough. Actually, Beyoncé-approved or not, this style stands on its own as the perfect cross between a structured tote and slouchy satchel. Named after Tory’s Madison Avenue flagship address, she had to get it right. And success it is! With loads of nonchalance, the 797 has a enviable downtown vibe. The slip-through tab assists in bringing a hint of insouciance, and the overall effect is of serious attitude. Equally successful as a top-handle or shoulder bag, Tory also proves she can nail an often-unattainable balance.
Of course, Beyoncé has the luscious blue crocodile edition (available exclusively at the Madison Avenue boutique for $9,950), but pebbled leather is a great all-around bag (and heaps more affordable). The 797 also comes in suede – lust inducing in rich blue, but I worry about wear and dirt when it comes to an everyday bag in light suede. Opt for black leather and carry it like crazy.

I had been hoping that you guys would identify this bag! I knew it looked familiar and couldn’t place it. I guess I will go with the leather but that purple croc is gorgeous.
Love this!
HI, I have seen this bag in different sizes & colours over the last couple of weeks. I could not decide if I actually liked the bag. But seeing in it on Beyonce, I actually like the bag.
When I first saw this 797 Satchel I wanted it in blue to pair with a navy, orange and cream suede Tory Burch heel. They have been in a box unworn for over 2 years now. The 797 in navy would have been perfect. Yet the 797 Satchel Large does not come in navy. Low in behold they have manufactured a nayv croc WAY OUT of my price range. **sigh** I will eventual rock this shoe.
When I first say the 797 Satchel I wanted the large in navy to pair with a navy, orange, cream and gold accented suede tory burch pump. These suede shoes have been in the box unworn for 2+ years now. Tory Burch did not manufacture the 797 large in navy. Low and behold I see Beyonce with a large navy croc way out of my price range. Go Figure! I will eventually rock the suede pumps.
