B. Makowsky Classics Rockefeller Large Satchel | Soft Leather Traditional Handbag

Posted on: Jan 2

The B. Makowsky Classics line is somewhat of a departure from the label's often urban contemporary look, but I'm a fan of the totally traditional and versatile look that it offers with bags like the Classics Rockefeller.

Similar to the Astor Hobo from the same collection, the Rockefeller is all about sophistication and elegance. It's not edgy or particularly modern, which might keep some women from choosing it, but the Rockefeller has the sort of style that goes with almost anything and won't quickly go out of fashion.

Thankfully, however, you don't have to share the same name as this leather satchel to afford it. Although the Rockefeller shares the same soft, textured leather as other B. Makowsky handbags, it retails for a relatively reasonable $278. That might be a steep price for some budgets, but it seems like a great deal when you consider the quality of materials and enduring stylishness of the purse.

For the most classic look, I'd opt for either this cognac brown or the black leather versions. The stone white is a little more unexpected, though, and a great choice for any season.
