Jalda Aida Tote Bag | Luxury Italian Goat Leather Purse

Posted on: Dec 20

Jalda has created a classic bag with retro flair in the Aida.

While it's available in many fabrics, my favorite is this goat leather. The pleats around the top only accentuate just how soft this skin is. The structured frame design, round rolled handles, and bold colors help give the purse its playful vintage vibe.

The color continues inside, with vibrant aqua bengaline lining. This satiny fabric feels lovely, so it's always a treat to fish items out of! The roomy space comes equipped with slip and zip pockets to keep everything in order.

We're given the option of carrying the two rolled handles or slinging the chain strap over our shoulder. That versatility sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure about the execution. The chain strap isn't removable, so when you're in the mood for carrying the handles it swings aimlessly. The handles are fairly lengthy too, so most people could carry them over their shoulder anyway. That makes me wonder, why add the chain strap in the first place? Leaving it off, or even making it detachable, would have resulted in a much cleaner look and a far lighter bag.

I love the fun color range, with rich purple, red, and azure blue all available. Jalda knows some girls prefer to play it safe though, so the Aida is also available in basic black.
