Diane von Furstenberg’s given the classic messenger a sophisticated makeover to create the Keller bag.
The typical canvas fabric has been replaced by luxury leather, and the usual casual silhouette made more structured and elegant. You can see the traditional messenger peeking through, something like the way we can still see ourselves in our childhood photos. Just like us it seems like this messenger has lost its baby fat and pimples along the path to maturity.
The Keller comes with a grown up price tag, but $675 still isn’t exorbitant for a bag that could so easily slot itself into your everyday wardrobe. It’s got just the right amount of space for holding everything we really need when we step out, and its long strap is perfect for slinging over our shoulder. The small top handle is a bit superfluous really. As the longer strap can’t be removed no one will ever choose to carry it by this tiny fixture. And so it’s left sitting and doing very little!
I’m already starting to plan the outfits that would work best with this bag. Since it’s such a versatile shade of toffee brown, it might take me a while!
