Carla Mancini Jackie Satchel | Studded Stitched Brown Leather Carry-All Bag

Posted on: Dec 7

Carla Mancini Jackie Satchel I must admit, I've never taken a lot of notice of Carla Mancini. Her accessories typically tend to blend into the background. However with this Jackie satchel she has me swooning.

There's a lot going on here, but Mancini handles it so well that it doesn't seem overdone. The deep angular seams make the finish feel like a modern take on patchwork. The delicate golden studs are beautiful, especially against that rich chocolate brown leather. The whipstitched handles are also stunning. The tassels on the side might be a step too far, but at least they get lost in the design.

The Jackie's relaxed shape points to its everyday application. It's generously sized with an ample supply of pockets. I only wish those were trimmed in more of that plush leather to help them last. It's one of those little extras I expect at this price point, just like the also absent metal feet.

Carla Mancini probably hasn't done enough to demand $575 for this satchel, but she also hasn't priced it out of reach. It's no bargain, but it would be a lovely addition to any wardrobe.
