Kate Spade Hanover Satchel | Nylon Striped Emmalee Demi Bag

Posted on: Dec 18

Kate Spade keeps things a little more demure than normal with this nautical striped demi-bag.

Although the style is still undeniable vintage, this bag is perfect for sailor-inspired outfits and subtle combinations, rather than for bright in-your-face pops of color. The unusual combination of navy, white and tan, however, does help to set it apart from the crowd.

The wonderful brown leather trim to this nylon Hanover bag is perhaps my favorite feature. In such a contrasting shade it stands out brilliantly from the background, creating a square frame with an interestingly art deco vibe. There is also the added bonus that tan always looks smart and elegant, giving the Emmalee a sense of refinement absent in many fun Kate Spade purses.

When you look beneath the stripey exterior, you get a dull beige glossy lining and some functional pockets; as well as decent space. Even better, as this satchel is cross body, meaning you can actually carry quite a lot of stuff as you will have the shoulder support. Perfect!

All in all this pretty nautical purse will keep you going from summer thru winter, and whilst it isn't the most mind-blowing bag on the shelf it should still treat you well!
