Jessica Jensen takes her typical tote shape and gives it a lush woven texture with this Thruway bag.
It might have a classic style, but this tote bucks the trends by opting for a large up and down weave rather than a more tightly knit diagonal one. I love this point of difference, which allows us to appreciate the way each individual strip of leather winds and weaves about to create this lush texture. The look is enhanced by the choice of high quality light brown leather. It might be a conservative color choice, but its universal appeal is undeniable.
The luxury continues inside with a plush suede lining. This fabric may not feel as sexy in years to come, but at least the leather trimmed pockets should stay practical. This is a large tote, but those pockets come to the rescue to make it feel manageable.
My only gripe is that the gorgeous texture isn’t continued on the back of the bag. While I have come to accept this treatment from budget handbags, when a purse retails for $758 I don’t expect any corners to be cut.
