Maxx New York Hepburn Satchel | Chocolate Brown Suede Handbag with Gold Hardware

Posted on: Sep 21

I'm not sure if this Maxx New York Hepburn handbag is supposed to be channeling Audrey or Katharine. There's not really anything about it that reminds me of either beloved actress and style icon, but I happen to like this satchel either way.

Maybe I'm just in the mood for the upcoming season because this suede in a wonderful shade of chocolate brown is really drawing me in. It makes me long for weather that calls for some tall riding boots, a cozy coat, and wool scarf. The soft material is definitely a fall and winter feature, which naturally limits its use but doesn't make me hesitate one bit about it.

The trim on the handles and around the top zipper is real leather. I would've expected that from the brand considering that the satchel is priced at $220, but it's not always a guarantee in that price range. Kudos to Maxx New York for going with two quality materials for their design.

Small gold ring details adorn the front of this satchel and sit between two exterior slip pockets. Additional storage is available on the back of the bag as well with its exterior zippered pocket. My only disappointment with this satchel is that the optional longer strap is not detachable, which can be frustrating when you're using the double handles. Other than that, it's a great choice for the new season. The suede Hepburn style also comes in practical cross-body and large tote designs.
