Steve Madden Rock Wash Satchel | Casual Faux Leather Bag with Distressed Finish

Posted on: Sep 1

I must be in the mood for weathered leather handbags. The Betsey Johnson Made In The Fade satchel recently caught my eye, and now this leather-like Steve Madden Rock Wash bag has me even more interested.

The Rock Wash's finish might not be quite as laid-back, rocker-esque as some handbags out there, but it offers a decent imitation of the look. I would prefer if the material were real leather, but it doesn't exactly come as a surprise considering the satchel's hefty size combined with an under-$100 price tag.

Every area on the synthetic leather that looks distressed has been rubbed with a bronze color giving it just a hint of sheen. Don't mistake it for a truly metallic purse as this one merely hints at the shiny finish. The Rock Wash bears more resemblance to a weathered and well-worn pair of jeans with a bronzey tint.

The silhouette of this Steve Madden satchel is somewhat structured, but the gathered pocket on the front creates an illusion of slouchiness. Although the double rolled handles seem to offer plenty of length for carrying the Rock Wash bag comfortably, you also have the option of attaching a longer, adjustable strap for a more a little more convenience.
