In the tradition of Valentino’s Rose handbags comes this more affordable, yet far less luxurious, Big Buddha Mia bag.
If your budget can stretch, I’d pass this one over for the Valentino alternative. While the rose is just as flirty and feminine, the stiff synthetic doesn’t fall as softly as an authentic leather would. The snakeskin finish is also a little too garish for this already heavily decorated look. While the colors are sedate, a plain fabric would have made the large ruffled flower appear a little more elegant.
But it’s not all bad news. The traditional domed satchel shape maximizes the space available, while pockets inside and out help your belongings stay organized. The curved carrying handles are cute, but they’d be a little awkward to use once your satchel’s loaded up. That’s when the longer strap comes into play, allowing you to sling the Mia over your shoulder or across your entire body.
I may prefer the similar Valentino purse, but not everyone can afford to drop a few thousand dollars on a satchel. At just $85 the Mia does a fairly credible impersonation of the more expensive accessory.
