Bodhi takes its cues from New York’s East Village with this Avenue B cross-body bag.
Just like the Alphabet City street that shares its name, this cross-body bag oozes modern attitude. It almost looks like someone’s taken a switchblade to the flap, an edgy detail which is complemented beautifully by the punk rock chains draped casually across the pebbled leather. The combination of black skin and gleaming silver metal is very rock and roll, but the chains are just delicate enough to ensure the look isn’t overdone.
We get more metal and chains in the cross-body strap. The way the leather winds its way through the silver links calls to mind high class Chanel purses. That tempers the bag’s rebellious spirit a little, ensuring we can carry it to a good restaurant or the theatre without attracting the wrong kind of attention.
For those evenings out I’d probably leave the strap behind and carry it like a clutch. It’s a little larger than most bags of this ilk, but it’s slender enough easily tuck underneath your arm or hold in your hand. And that extra space will never go astray when you’re hitting the town.
The Avenue B’s versatility helps make its $488 price tag seem like a pretty good deal.
