Halston Nightscatter XL City Tote | Large Urban Print Leather Purse

Posted on: Sep 16

Halston rarely puts a foot wrong, but this Nightscatter City Tote may have been a fashion misstep.

The patterns are simply too much. The black and white urban print clashes with the colored tie-dye accents, but not in a good way. Both patterns are loud and obnoxious, and pairing them amplifies the effect of both. You'd definitely need a neutral wardrobe when carrying this bag, and even then it won't be appropriate for many occasions.

I might be able to overlook that garish exterior if this tote offered real practicality, but it lets us down there too. It's an ample size, but not the largest tote I've seen. Yet the lone zippered pocket is still insufficient to organize this much room.

The best thing I can say about this bag is that I love the strap. With a drop of 15 inches, it's much longer than most and bound to be more comfortable on your shoulder. But with a price tag of $2810.50, that's not enough to convince me to lay my money down.
