It’s not exactly the Be & D Kan Kan, but the Ruffle Satchel from SR Squared by Sondra Roberts is a much more affordable alternative to the luxurious designer version. I wouldn’t say it’s a perfect option since the two styles are very different, but it’s an excellent option for an inexpensive bag with the increasingly popular ruffled look.
One of the things that makes this Medium Ruffle Satchel so much fun is that it really does look like one big bunch of ruffles instead of just having a few rows here and there for detail. It’s so incredibly feminine that you can’t help but feel ultra-girly when accessorizing with it.
Ramping up the feminine factor is the bright, shiny fuchsia material. Contrasting white piping on the handbag adds some pop and accentuates the ruffled feature. The color combination makes the SR Squared Ruffle Satchel much less understated than the Kan Kan, but this bold look will appeal to tons of personal tastes and aligns with current color trends as well.
It is very similar to the SR Squared Wave Shoulder Bag. However, this Sondra Roberts bag is better for the spring and summer seasons, whereas glossy snakeskin jewel tones like on the Wave are more appropriate for fall and winter.
Although the Ruffle Satchel isn’t crafted from real leather, the synthetic material is acceptable and makes the bag within reach of most budgets. I might like the satchel even more without the shiny patent sheen, but it does seem like the type of handbag that’s meant to stand out in every way possible. You can get this spunky SR Squared purse for only $80.
