Lauren Merkin Lizzie Satchel | Nude Washed Lambskin Handbag

Posted on: Sep 19

Lauren Merkin Lizzie Satchel When done well, a nude handbag can be one of the fashion world's most versatile creations. But in the wrong hands this mellow color can make any design bland. Sadly that's what we see here with Lauren Merkin's Lizzie satchel.

The workmanship on this handbag is superb, and its materials exquisite. The washed lambskin body is supple and buttery soft, and the lizard printed trim makes the satchel feel a little more luxurious. It's such a good mimic that the most discerning fashion fans would never know the difference. The clean minimalist design also makes the Lizzie very versatile.

The Lizzie is also really practical. Size-wise it's as close to perfect as I could hope for. Its dark twill lined interior will hide any stains, and its plethora of pockets will make organization easy. Its straps are long and flat so they won't slide from your shoulder.

But its bland color really lets it down. It's just so nothing, so ordinary, so pedestrian, and so boring. On trend it might be, versatile it might be, but I can't imagine it inspiring anyone to fork over their cash. Lauren Merkin doesn't demand a lot, relatively speaking, but $495 still seems too much to pay for a bag so lacking in personality.
