I’m a fan of Bulga handbags, but sometimes I think that the brand just modifies a few signature styles. In particular, the brand tends to favor a rounded-top satchel with double handles.
The Bulga Marquis, Adore, and Zaraf satchels all follow this silhouette, and now the Bairam tote can join the bunch. As with the other designs, there isn’t much about this handbag that isn’t likable. Its traditional appearance and classic styling will likely appeal to a broad range of shoppers.
On the other hand, there’s not a lot about the Bairam that stands out as remarkable to me either. It isn’t particularly stunning or surprising in any way except perhaps this dark green color option and the cute, little kiss-lock coin pocket on the front. The exterior and interior pockets are extremely helpful but also exactly what I’d expect from the brand and this style.
A lack of unexpected features doesn’t mean it’s not worth a look, though. We all need at least one trusty, go-with-just-about-everything type of tote that can be carried to the office, on errands, and just around town. This may or may not be the right choice depending on your price point since $510 is a little steep to some budgets, but it’s a nice option for a simple, well-made handbag.
