I have found new designer Sara Berman’s aesthetic somewhat confusing. I just can’t really put my finger on what’s she’s going for. But if this new Stevie bag is any indication, she’s going for total rock diva and I love it. This Stevie bag is the most interesting bucket bag of the season, by far.
The weathered leather has a rich grape-y purple tone. It’s so dark that, at first glance, it looks black. This makes it versatile in its neutrality, but it will still add an interesting touch of color to your wardrobe. The classic gold hardware makes it look slightly less edgy, but doesn’t take away from the overall rock-n-roll aesthetic. I can’t say for sure that the inspiration for the bag is the iconic singer Stevie Nicks, but if it is, Berman has done a great job channeling her refined rock ‘n’ roll look.
The design of this bucket back hearkens back to the 80s, with a few modern touches. The shape is pure 1984, but the multiple strap combination is a contemporary addition that makes the style far more practical. The exterior zipper pocket is a convenient feature that allows easy access to often need items. That’s particularly useful considering that the size and shape of the Stevie will make finding smaller items difficult.
At $555, the Stevie is very reasonably-priced designer handbag, and one that’s generous size will make it an extremely usable addition to a boho rocker wardrobe.
