B. Makowsky Classics Washington Satchel | Luxurious Traditional Leather Handbag

Posted on: Mar 16

This is the third beautifully crafted handbag in the B. Makowsky Classics range.

I have a strong respect for the classic and timeless beauty that is evident in a really well thought out satchel. The shape is without fail brilliantly practical, and I find that the somewhat staid design will work with any number of outfits and personal styles. Alongside the good looks, this means that the Washington satchel has that valuable quality: true versatility. I could see this working with a summery mini dress just as well as with a formal pinstripe suit.

To be fair, this ought to be versatile, as it costs a fairly significant $288. However, as a true investment piece this price is realistic, and I think that the ageless shape and quality leather mean that it could last for a long time indeed. What it really comes down to, after all, is your cost-per-wear figure!

To add to the obvious luxury of the cold gray leather, I particularly love the interior. In a quilted and slightly glossy burgundy fabric, this just makes this such a stunner inside and out. It is clear I really love this; even considering the fact that the hardware is gold rather than the automatic silver choice.
