Hype ups the attitude with this edgy leather Sabrina satchel.
It might be just me, but I can’t help thinking of a straitjacket when I look at this purse. Something about all those criss-crossing belts screams metal asylum garb. But perhaps that unhinged personality is just what Hype was aiming for.
I could have swallowed a few stud embellishments, but by using a combination of round and point pyramids I think Hype has gone too far. However this isn’t a bag about subtlety, so Hype must just get away with this level of excess.
The looks give the Sabrina the X factor, but its functional features are equally impressive. While you’re drooling over the buckles you might miss the magnetic snap pocket, two slide pockets and two zippered compartments hidden on the exterior. There’s more where that came from, with three open pockets and a large zippered pocket inside.
My only disappointment is the handles, which are just a shade too short for all but the slimmest girls to carry comfortably over their shoulder. A few extra inches would have made all the difference.
But at an affordable $325, I think most daring fashionistas will be willing to overlook this little niggle.
