Bally Christa Cross-Body Purse | Small Structured Blue Leather Handbag

Posted on: Aug 9

Bally Christa Cross Body Cross-body bags tend to be casual affairs, but Bally has dressed the style up with this elegant Christa purse.

I immediately fell for its easy blend of retro and contemporary influences. Its sturdy structured design is a bit of a fashion throwback, but its bright blue leather gives it a very modern pop. I love the unique texture Bally's applied to the skin. It's so much more dramatic than regular pebbling, but it's not showy enough to distract us.

The Christa is a small bag, but Bally crams plenty inside it. While it'll never handle large items its cleverly organized compartments are perfect for holding small essentials. Its petite dimensions may put some people off, but I think they're also part of the Christa's charm. It's so dainty that it could easily work for an evening out, just as well as it would for a café brunch.

That price is far too high though. I appreciate that it's well made from high quality materials, but I still can't see $1295 worth. That doesn't stop me lusting after it though!
