Guess Oyster Satchel Bag | Colorblock Diagonal Striped Handbag

Posted on: Oct 13

Guess is always one to jump on the trend bandwagon. With the Oyster satchel, the brand follows the current taste for colorblock accessories.

Colorblock designs offer a very specific look, and one which isn't likely to last beyond a season or two. Yet the complementary blend of colors here might help you carry the Oyster a little longer. By pairing diagonal stripes in similar shades, Guess has created a bag with real staying power. Still, all those colors won't appeal to everyone. Thankfully Guess also includes a black bag, which features the same geometric design with classic black-on-black stripes.

Guess reigns in the glitz here, with the rhinestone encrusted logo plaque providing the only hint of bling. I could have done without these glittering gems, but fans of the brand will be thankful for their inclusion!

The interior is a little less subtle, with a vibrant signature print lining giving Guess' trademark splash of color. All those fruity tones may look a little out of place, but it's hard to mind when an interior space is so well organized. This exceeds our expectations, with a long zippered pocket, a cell phone slip, and two more multifunctional pouches. Use one for your MP3 player and another for a small camera!

The rolled handles are a little shorter than I'd like, but most girls will have no problems slipping them over their shoulder.

When you buy Guess, you don't expect real leather or high quality. But a bag like this Oyster satchel does help budget-loving fashionistas enjoy an on-trend color-blocked purse. It may not last forever, but neither will this fad!
