Jessica Simpson Mint Satchel | Camel-Colored Synthetic Crocodile Handbag

Posted on: Jun 29

Many of us can't afford a real crocodile leather handbag since exotics are going for quite a high price these days. Hermes might be farming their own crocs now to cut down on their in-house costs, but that doesn't mean that the retail prices we see will go down one bit.

That's why tons of brands are offering synthetic version of the material. It's no surprise that Jessica Simpson, with her plethora of affordable designs, has this classy little faux crocodile satchel. The Mint handbag isn't dirt cheap as it retails for just over $100, but that's small potatoes when you consider that the real thing can run for well into the triple digits.

There's something so chic about the Mint satchel in this neutral camel color. It's bound to go with more outfits than you can count on both hands. Sure, it also comes in denim blue and tangerine orange. However, the light brown on this bag is lovely.

I like the variance of textures on the synthetic leather. One seems to melt into another for an aesthetically pleasing result. A slight sheen adds to the effect and does a great job at bringing out the nuances. All in all, Jessica Simpson did a great job mimicking a popular, always-classic look.
