This bright patterned Kristy bag satchel from Fossil can easily add a little color to your everyday wardrobe.
The soft, round body reminds me a little of the Marni Balloon tote. Of course, the cloth body means it’s not nearly as luxurious, or pricy. The bold, abstract pattern won’t suit every taste, but it’s a lot of fun. So I’m not sure why Fossil breaks it up with a wide woven brown band. I suppose this plain fabric tones the bag down a little, but it also makes the design look a little cluttered.
The cotton canvas finish doesn’t just keep the price down. It also makes the Kristy very light to carry. What a blessing in such a large bag! Even when it’s full, this satchel isn’t likely to weigh you down. The spacious interior is a challenge to keep organized, but zip and slip pockets do their best to help you out.
The wooden handles give the Kristy a little retro flair, but they’re not very practical. Polished wood may be smooth, but it never feels good in your hand for very long. Thankfully the satchel comes with a longer, and more functional, shoulder strap. It’s a little skinnier than I’d like, but it does the job. If you’d prefer to use the smaller handles, just detach the shoulder strap for a clean look.
