At first glance, this Big Buddha Uptown bag’s shape reminds me of the Jessica Simpson Gotham Satchel. However, while the Gotham has a structured appearance, the Uptown looks a little more laid-back.
It’s not a slouchy, boho-style handbag that you’d carry with very casual outfits. Instead, the style results in a combination of informal and dressy, making it a useful addition to an accessories collection.
There aren’t too many features on this Big Buddha bag that scream “casual”. However, the folded up sides keep the style a little relaxed. A slightly crinkled texture on the manmade material adds to the effect.
Of course, the most noticeable detail on the bag is the metallic color. Although it is technically labeled gold, there seems to be some silver in the washed-out areas of the synthetic leather. The unexpected color choice is a nice spin on the classic handbag shape of the Uptown.
