One of the easy trends to follow this season is texture, texture, and more texture. Standout leathers like ostrich and python are popular but can sometimes run a little high. A printed or embossed leather with the same look can achieve almost the same effect for a fraction of the price.
I wouldn’t exactly call Betsey Johnson a budget brand as she is a major designer today with bags that can sometimes run well past $350. This Snake Charmer Tote, for example, retails for $295. However, that’s not a bad deal for a stylish designer purse that has tons of character and quality details.
Though it’s offered in black, ivory, green, and blush snake prints, the barely basic ivory option is my favorite. It’s as subtle as it can be for the pattern and doesn’t overwhelm the eye combined with the other details. The black is also a great choice for a slightly basic look.
The edgy features that make this bag a classic Betsey Johnson are the gold chain-link straps, chain edging, and zippered detail around the top. All of this flashy hardware gives the Snake Charmer the signature look of the designer. The snake-printed leather is just a bonus, as far as I’m concerned.
Though this medium-sized tote is a good size for everyday. If you require a bigger bag but love this style, the Betsey Johnson Snake Charmer also comes in two larger versions, either taller or wider.
