It’s got a grand name drawing from classic literature, but the Gatsby Leather Shopper is definitely a modern gal.
Where a more traditional handbag may have featured complementary accents, the Gatsby dares to be different with tan leather trim. The brown details clash delightfully with either tomato red or bone leather. The front pockets appear to have turnlock closures, but they’re not as fiddly as all that. Magnetic snaps hidden underneath the flaps keep these deep pouches secure, allowing us to stash valuables like keys and a favorite pair of designer sunglasses inside.
There’s more storage space on offer inside. This is a shopper after all! The generous felt lined space has plenty of room for a chunky wallet, bulky cosmetics case, and a thick novel. The Great Gatsby perhaps? A zippered pocket and two open slips keep the inside organized.
The long rolled handles are the ideal finishing touch, allowing busy shoppers to simply grab and go. At $325, the Gatsby is one of Charles David’s most expensive purses, but the combination of fun and functionality make it worth the extra dollars.
