Big Buddha Sophia Shoulder Bag | Large Metallic Croc-Embossed PVC Handbag

Posted on: Jan 13

We look at quite a few Big Buddha handbags around here, but there's a good reason ... or really a couple of them. There seem to be endless trendy styles offered by the brand, and the prices continue to be reasonably attainable for the average gal.

Those are good enough reasons for me to consider the label's designs over and over again. Styles like this Sophia shoulder bag hit on more than one current trend and don't fail to please with the price point either.

Its crocodile embossed exterior is, of course, something that bag brands are incorporating a lot as of late. Combined with a metallic sheen, the Sophia's croc-like texture is made to look a little more luxurious. I wouldn't say that the purse is dressy in any use of the word, but the bronze-y effect on the PVC material does make it appear a bit better than average.

Double pockets on the outside are a practical addition to this large handbag. My only confusion is with the d-rings on either side of the handles despite the fact that there is not extra strap to be attached. The detail seems superfluous but not entirely unappealing. At $90, this large shoulder bag is easy to like.
