Vitalio Vera might not be a name on every fashion lover's lips, but I've always admired the way the brand churns out affordable accessories that don't skimp on substance or style. The Sandra is another example of the label's commitment to affordable luxury.
Of course, for less than $50 you wouldn't expect real leather. But the synthetic alternative Vitalio Vera employs doesn't make us feel we're missing out on too much. Looking at the way this hobo softly slouches only confirms its quality. What a shame that Vitalio Vera chose to trim it with glossy synthetic. It doesn't have the same luster of a real patent; unlike the body's synthetic this appears like an obvious fake. It cheapens a bag which really shouldn't have looked cheap.
I can't stay glum for too long though, because the Sandra is a smartly designed bag. It's generously sized, perhaps even a bit too big by modern standards. The trio of interior pockets makes sure it doesn't feel overwhelming though, so we're merely left satisfied that we need leave nothing behind. The straps are just long enough for comfortable over-the-shoulder carrying.
The Sandra isn't a perfect bag but then again, neither are many purses that cost much more. If you need to make compromises, why not save a bit of money at the same time?

Great feminine bag. I love slouch bags. I wish they made slouch bags in a shoulder bag
