Charles L Thomas Cynthia Bowler | Chunky Retro Hold-all in Italian Patent Leather

50 sec read

There comes a time when every girl needs a bigger bag. Whether for a weekend away or to hold all your folders, sometimes the cute and trendy purses just don’t cut it. Instead, I suggest you go for a bowler bag, which gives you high fashion in combination with high functionality.

This bag is one of my favorites on the market. First off, I am impressed that such a kitsch and good looking hold-all comes in at under the $300 mark. Secondly, it is successfully channelling the vintage bowling look without looking either twee or out-dated. This, my friends, is a delicate balancing act, and one that many designers get terribly wrong.

So what makes this bag so successful, other than extensive space? It has plenty of pockets – your phone will have a compartment, as will your keys, wallet and more. As a fashionable accessory, the outer pocket is highlighted in vintage style by a curved section of black patent, that coordinates with the long flexible hands and reinforced corners.  Surprisingly, this hold-all is in a very soft leather, and the interior is in ribbed cotton which coordinates brilliantly.

This is yet another lovely example of Italian craftsmanship, and would do you proud on a weekend away. From the over-sized silver hardware to the off-white color, this bag is a sound investment.
