There’s something about this Roxy Layer Cake satchel that calls to mind The SAK Dandelion Flap, although the two bags are unique their own styles. The graphic prints on both, however, seem to have been hand-painted or drawn straight onto the exterior, which is a specific look but definitely an appealing one.
I’m attracted to the simplicity of the print on this Roxy satchel. The black-and-white combination with a pop of color on one flower is dramatic but not showy. It’s as if we’re supposed to notice and admire it because of its stark color combo but not get distracted by the fact that it has a large print.
The back of the handbag is as surprising as the front as it is entirely devoid of pattern. I suppose on days when the bag is ideal but your outfit calls for something plain, you could just turn it around to have the back showing forward. It sort of seems to defeat the purpose of buying the bag, though, since the print is the star of the show here.
The material is synthetic, but for an oversized satchel you can usually anticipate that when the price is set at only $82. The double handles have a small knotted tie at each anchor for a little decoration. It adds some whimsy and a carefree vibe, which I like.
For days when you’ve really got a lot to lug about, you can attach the longer adjustable strap and wear the Layer Cake satchel across the body. Whether you carry it around town or just on overnight trips, this oversized Roxy handbag will serve you well for style and convenience.
