It’s no surprise that Big Buddha has yet another affordable but cute synthetic leather purse. There’s nothing that makes the Samantha satchel stand out significantly, but it’s a nice choice for a decently sized handbag with stylish details.
The pebbled texture gives the Samantha’s manmade material a slightly more authentic look. I’m not always a fan of metallic leather, but this one’s color is just brown enough to not be too flashy. The dark brown trim softens the color as well.
If you’d rather have an all over brown satchel, the Samantha also comes in a chocolate brown with the same dark trim. The colors still contrast a little, but the result is less harsh than with the gold material.
The slouchy shape of this Big Buddha bag is casual and laid-back, as most purses from the brand are. The front drawstring isn’t functional but adds to that vibe. You’ll also find some trendy studs on the handle anchors and sides for extra detail.
The Samantha’s interior is fully lined and contains a few pockets. On the back of the satchel, there’s a convenient zippered pocket for coins or other small items. This Big Buddha bag retails for $85.
