Lucky Brand Patchwork Slouch Tote | Colorful and Casual Suede Patches Handbag

Posted on: Feb 9

Lucky Brand takes traditional patchwork into the 21st century with this fun slouch hobo.

Colorful squares of suede are sewn together to create a vibrant checked pattern. It's reminiscent of the quilts women used to make in years gone by, but the bright swatches ensure it never feels too old fashioned. In fact, with its natural hobo-like slouch this patchwork tote is right on trend with its boho-chic look.

Things are also kept current with the slouch tote's large size. There's enough room inside to carry your wallet, sunglasses, personal technology, a small bottle of water, and the latest copy of Vogue. Keys and loose change are also taken care of with a zippered pocket in the back wall. A snap closure at the top keeps everything inside safe and secure.

I love the look of the whipstitched leather handbag flanked by large metal rings, but it's not the most practical choice. The six inch drop is adequate for over the shoulder carrying, but it's still a little short to be truly comfortable.

It may have its flaws, but I'm willing to overlook them for the $158 retail price. That's a lot less than you'll pay for many Lucky Brand shoulder bags, yet this slouch tote doesn't skimp on style or substance.
