I am impressed by how top-end designer this ruffled satchel from Steven Madden actually looks.
I think it is the design that makes this reasonably affordable handbag look quite so posh. The ruffles aren’t just layered like bags normally do, instead being cut from the same synthetic leather in unpredictable patterns. In an abstract way, they twist and contradict each other from handles to base.
As soon as you get out the handle shoulder strap this purse does start looking a little more high street. It is, after all, cut from vaguely coordinating canvas, and is more about function than it is about looks. If you want to look classy I suggest you only use the shoulder strap when absolutely necessary, although it is nice to have the option.
Whilst the main handles are a little short for such a stocky satchel, I do love the way they look. The gold hardware contrasting with the golden-pewter shade works particularly well, stopping that bag from appearing dull and cold. Instead, this spacious purse looks warm and very smart.
All in all this is an attractively and deceptively designed shoulder-bag with both practicality and looks in mind.
