Antik Batik gives us luxury for considerably less than many big name designers with this Pampa Mini Bag. Given its lovely taupe toned snakeskin body, I was pleasantly surprised to see it priced at just $345.
Of course we’re not getting a lot of bag for our dollar, but whenever an authentic exotic purse is priced under a thousand I think we’re getting a pretty good deal. That’s especially true when the bag has as much style as the Pampa.
The simple flap style is jazzed up with soft pleats. While many designers might cut corners by keeping the pleats on the front, Antik Batik continues the style on the back.
The shoulder strap is also gorgeous, with more of that skin snaking through the chain. But its appeal is more than aesthetic. We can wear it doubled up to make the Pampa a shoulder purse, or extend it out to convert the bag to a cross-body.
Considering its size it’s not surprising that you’ll struggle to fit everything you really need inside. That makes it more appropriate for evenings out than busy days, unless you typically travel light. Given its petite dimensions, I’m impressed to see a zippered pocket tucked away inside.
This neutral taupe color is very on trend, but it’s worth noting that it’s actually a bit darker than it appears in the picture. If that’s not to your taste you can also find it in a fetching gray-blue shade called navy.
