Big Buddha adds some flouncy flair to the traditional shoulder bag with the Millie.
The Millie gets its style from the exaggerated gathers which add texture and drama to its front. As with so many Big Buddha bags though, that striking design feature isn’t continued on the back. I assume that’s how the brand keeps its costs down, along with the use of synthetic material, but it’s disappointing nonetheless. At least Big Buddha offers a zippered pocket here to appease us, although I’m sure we’d all pick more pretty pleats over this practical perk.
After all, Big Buddha hasn’t skimped with these functional features inside. There’s a large zippered pocket on one wall, and a pair of open pouches on the other. Gadgets and valuables taken care of, there’s plenty of space for everything we need to get through the day, and a few extras as well.
I love the summery appeal of this cool blue shade, but if you’re looking for a more classic look consider the Millie in white. Just make sure you handle this pale purse with kid gloves as it’s bound to show grimy stains quickly.
