B. Makowsky seems to have a penchant for naming their handbags after major cities, like the Maui, Los Angeles, and Florence. I’m not sure what exactly about this particular tote called to mind the Bahamas, but Nassau is the name it was given.
Interesting name choice aside, the Nassau tote is actually a great handbag to consider. There are some first-rate qualities to it that mark it definitively a B. Makowksy style and give it that designer touch.
The first thing that draws my eye, especially in this vachetta brown color, is the crocodile embossing on the leather. It is unusually notable to me because of the size of the, for lack of a better description, croc-printed squares. I like the drama that feature adds to the design.
That’s not the only bold, dramatic detail, however. Like many other B. Makowsky handbags, the Nassau tote has large, prominent hardware that catches your eye but doesn’t take over the style.
Last but not least, this bag is wonderfully practical when you glance at the signature leopard-print interior. The inside of the large tote is separated into three compartments for ideal organization with many pockets for smaller items. The stylish and functional designer purse retails for $318.
