Big Buddha delivers the elegance of woven weave for less with this Nadine satchel.
No one would suggest this bag’s on a par with those created by Bottega Veneta or other high end fashion houses. Its synthetic isn’t nearly as luxurious as the Italian leathers these masters use, and the finish doesn’t have the same refinement. But for less than $100, it does a decent impersonation.
Synthetic’s always a bit shiny, so it makes sense to color the manmade skin with metallic hues. In these glitzy tones the sheen is an asset. The brown patent leather accents look pretty cheap, but the woven finish is surprisingly chic.
Big Buddha actually offers us more practical features than its high-end contemporaries. While esteemed designers favour minimalism, Big Buddha’s packed the generously sized space with pockets. The Nadine’s handles are a bit short, but you might be able to squeeze them over your shoulder if you leave a coat behind.
If you’ve got the budget for high class accessories, the Nadine won’t turn your head. But if your purse strings are tighter, there’s a lot more to like about this $99.95 satchel.
