Diane Von Furstenberg knows what girls on the go want, and she delivers another functional travel bag in the Raquel. It’s just a shame that along the way, the designer forgot her trademark style.
All the right elements are there. The trapezoidal shape has a fun retro feel, and the crocodile embossed leather trim helps to dress things up. But the fabric is just so drab. Black, walnut, and bamboo may be elegant choices, but they’re also a little boring.
While I miss Diane Von Furstenberg’s usual design flair, she’s made up for it with the practical features. The zip-around bottom compartment is the ideal place for stashing a pair of Jimmy Choo heels and other extras. An interior pocket offers easy access to your passport and travel documents.
The Raquel is crafted using high quality materials that are built to last. In fact, Diane Von Furstenberg is so convinced of this she offers a 10-year warranty. That’s not bad for a purse that retails for just $100. If this Drop-Bottom Boarding Bag has caught your eye, you can complete the look with matching luggage.
