My deciding factor for considering the purchase of an expensive designer handbag is to find something one-of-a-kind or one that I simply can’t live without. Personally, I can’t imagine spending $875 on a gray leather messenger bag. However, if you find yourself shopping for bags in that price range and you’d get quite a bit of use out of it, this Bally Regis Messenger is a great choice.
The unisex look of the Regis makes it appropriate for men or women. Perhaps men might prefer the clean lines and practical appearance of this messenger, but I can also imagine women carrying it for a safari or military style accessory.
The Regis’ practicality is its best quality, however, and what will probably attract people most. There are quite a few organizational pockets inside and outside of the bag. An adjustable strap with a significant drop allows for the perfect fit whether you prefer to wear it on your shoulder or across the body. The front strap buckles down, although this is more decorative than anything since there’s also a snap closure.
This Bally messenger’s kidskin leather is uptown quality mixed with a downtown design. I suppose the caliber of material is what justifies the price more than anything else. The Regis might be out of reach more many budgets, but it’s worth it if you can afford it.
