If you know anything about me, it’s that I love a good exotic bag. But I understand the hesitation, as well as the primal fear that can come with the prospect of the purchase…
We love exotics because well, they’re exotic, but this takes the jungle vibe a step further. It’s downright dangerous looking! And who doesn’t crave the element of danger every now and again?
Come summertime I either need an itty-bitty bag like a wallet on a chain or something more substantial for fun, warm weather outings like this great satchel from Derek Lam.
The Anya satchel is my favorite bag from the Snob Essentials Cinderella collection. Our fairy-tale ingénue is all grown-up, leaving the pumpkins behind and embracing big-city style. She’s also developed an elevated flair for drama.
For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. So with the recent onslaught of hard, unyielding bags, you can bet there’s a slew of softer options to even things out. Here it is: the counter movement to the recent structured bag obsession.
A good print always catches the eye, but that’s not the real eye-grabber here. The initial shocker is that this is a Sophie Hulme bag, sans her signature exaggerated hardware. While there may not be a studded or screwed-on metal plaque to be found, it’s still not without her personal touch.
