Elegant woven accents help to separate this Jill Tote from Badgley Mischka from the rest of the pack.
We’ve seen so many bags like this before, with their gleaming turn-lock closures and ladylike structured silhouettes. I like them all, but they tend to get a bit samey. The woven vertical stripes are just what I’ve been waiting for, because they make this satchel feel special. They’re complemented well by the whipstitched trim and handles.
The Jill is a great size for everyday use. It’s generously proportioned but not ungainly, so it won’t dwarf your body or weigh you down. It’s also well organized with an array of multifunctional slips and a spacious zippered pocket. The flat base is perfect for setting down during lunch or when you walk through the door after a hard day.
At $545 the Jill isn’t a bargain, but it is reasonable for an investment piece. In a choice of cognac or basic black, it’ll easily work in your wardrobe all year round, for several seasons to come.
