There’s not a lot about the Florence Shopper’s function that differs from the Jakarta Shopper. While the Florence lacks the exterior storage seen in the Jakarta, it makes up for it with its interior compartments. The details and styles of the two B. Makowsky bags are very different, but the idea is the same: a quality shopper with versatile features.
That being said, there really is a lot of difference when you compare the details. Whereas the Jakarta has an edgy contemporary look, the Florence perfects that sleek modern style that’s so popular right now.
Modern doesn’t have to mean Jane Jetson-esque or futuristic, though. The Florence Shopper just has very simple clean lines that look uncluttered and feminine at the same time. The angular seams on both sides add to the style and give a subtle look of sunbeams without being literal like a bright Juicy Couture print.
Lucky for us, modern style can also mean modern features. This B. Makowsky handbag is no exception. Though the soft white leather and pretty gold hardware look fabulous, they’re just the icing on the cake to what the Florence offers. This shopper actually has a zippered divider in the center that separates the interior for superb organization. Also, like the Jakarta and many other large bags, the Florence has a detachable shoulder strap for easier carrying.
You can get this shopper in a myriad of colors including pink, brown, black, blue-green, and the crisp white shown here. The B. Makowsky Florence Shopper is priced at $298.
