Proenza Schouler's much anticipated handbag line has taken a somewhat spartan approach to design. I don't just mean the design itself, which is, indeed, done with a light touch and an eye towards value. But, I also mean that they have smartly decided to stick with only a few basic shapes and sizes, so all the variation in the line comes from the materials used.
This new crocodile satchel is the most luxurious, and the most expensive, in the collection. At $14,500 retail, this bag is not for fashion hobbyists. It is for women with high design lives and credit cards with equally high limits. But not for women who have nothing to do. In fact this is the perfect take everywhere, including to the office, bag.
The simple utilitarian design allows the extraordinary crocodile skin to shine through. The amply generous main compartment has plenty of room for your laptop, folders, and papers. The front pouch pocket can hold all your pens and whatnot, and there are zippered pockets in each compartment for keeping hold of all those little things.
Because of the satchel's simple design, it is versatile and will suit a lot of people. I can see it, beat up after years of use, as the perfect accessory for a rock-n-roll journalist, or with some Tory Burch slides on an uptown girl with a career in finance.

Whoa! $14,500? I’d rather get a Birkin. It looks nice though. I gues its the croc skin that makes it insanely overpriced.

David,
I know, it’s a pricey number. But to be fair, there ain’t no croc Birkin for 14,5. This is a (and I’m choking on my words here) more reasonably priced bag. Also, I kind of just like it better. It has such a professional air about it, but also looks like it would take a beating and still look great.
To each their own taste, however, and I know plenty of people that would pick a Birkin over this or any other bag, anytime.
