Jessica Simpson Rumor Satchel Bag | Large Wicker Textured Synthetic Bag

Posted on: Dec 22

The Rumor satchel from Jessica Simpson is the ultimate illusionist. It's masquerading as a woven satchel, but it's actually just a textured synthetic.

The effect is quite striking from a distance though, and perhaps just as fascinating up close when you realize how cleverly it's done! No doubt taking the cheat's way out helps the Rumor stay under the magic $100 mark.

There are a few varieties of the Rumor, with differences that go beyond colors. I prefer the simplest ones, where the woven texture is seen on winter's hot shades: violet and raspberry. The black bag is far from basic, with wavy lines laid over the black-on-black mosaic. While the color is kept consistent, all those patterns make the purse look a little cluttered for my tastes. Jessica Simpson's bag collections always have at least one irreverent option, and here it's the "Fashion Multi." While it may be multi-colored, the palette of purples, browns, and whites is quite easy on the eye.

Whichever one you pick, you'll enjoy an almost luxurious level of space inside. Plenty of pockets and a handy keychain help keep the enormous interior organized. The flat platform base and magnetic snap ensure that all the goodies you stow inside will stay there.

The Rumor is another worthy and whimsical addition to Jessica Simpson's ever-growing collection of cheap and cheerful handbags.
