Muska Milano has recreated the look of prized crocodile leather with this beautiful satchel.
The embossed pattern mimics each reptilian scale so convincingly that no one needs to know you’re not carrying an authentic exotic handbag. This racy red purse is just one of many colors available. The palette tends to be a little conservative, but with shades including black, chestnut, orange, white, and burgundy there should be one to suit almost every taste. Chic belted accents at the side of the bag help to dress up the basic design.
The interior is inspired, with a large zippered compartment dividing the satchel into three parts. A zippered pocket and a couple of slip pouches further aid organization, offering a place for your cell phone, spare change, and other small objects.
The shoulder straps are less impressive. While they’re long enough, they’re so thin that they’re bound to leave marks on your shoulder. This satchel comes with a longer detachable strap, but it’s only marginally wider. If you’ve got a lot of walking to do I suggest leaving your heavy objects at home.
I could overlook the handles if I wasn’t running errands, but the price is another matter. I’m not sure Muska Milano has the profile to command $750 for a purse that isn’t really as exotic as it pretends to be. Personally I’d rather invest in cheaper contemporaries like the Nine West Great Find tote or the Jessica Simpson Delia. Or you could just save up for the real deal!
