I have been pretty openly dubious about Stella McCartney’s collection, but I almost always love her designs for Adidas. The Shell is definitely no exception. I’m really excited by its combination of beauty and utility.
The blue nylon material on the Shell is a winner, across the board. The color is bright and beautiful and very close to primary blue, and the nylon is durable and easy to take care of. Sure, you might not want nylon for your handbag, but for the gym or an overnight bag it’s lightweight and ideal.
The shape of the Shell is a cross between a tote and a duffel. I like the long rectangular design because it it keeps your things much more organized than a traditional duffel would. The mulitiplicity of pockets is really handy. The main compartment is complemented by the two outer pockets, which are perfect for stowing your dirty clothes and items you need frequently. The straps are nice and long, and will be comfortable over your shoulder if you fill the Shell up.
I can’t believe the price on this bag. $130 is great value for a bag that will take you far in terms of both style and practicality.
