Betseyville Party Hearty Overnighter | Betsey Johnson Quilted Weekender Tote

Posted on: Sep 13

Betsey Johnson continues to serve up nothing but the quirkiest, most whimsical yet stylish bags around. At least, that's my take on the designer's goods. Where some brands take whimsy to a tacky place, Betsey Johnson somehow manages to make it more kitschy than gaudy.

Her Betseyville range of bags is fun and not completely out of reach for bag lovers on a budget. This Party Hearty overnighter is what I'd expect from the designer plus a little extra pizazz. While its bold look might not be for every traveling gal, it's perfect for those who like to look dressed to the nines even when running to catch a flight.

The weekender-style tote's quilted satin fabric has a luxe appearance, but is a far cry from Chanel's signature classic material. The Party Hearty's quilted hearts add a punch of the unexpected to a formal fabric.

Most women in the market for a travel bag are looking for function in addition to style, though. I wouldn't call this Betsey Johnson Betseyville tote the most practical travel bag I've ever come across, but it does boast a decently sized interior. The chain link straps are probably the most impractical part of the bag, but that's easily taken care of with the adjustable and detachable shoulder strap.
