With its cool casual charm, and a beautiful seafoam green shade, there’s a lot to like about the Selene satchel from Diesel.
The color is what really caught my eye. The cool green shade has a subtle shine to it, which helps it look almost like a metallic. It’s not as glitzy as a real metallic of course, but that hint of sparkle really makes all the difference.
If it wasn’t for the color, I probably wouldn’t be so interested in the Selene. Its design is pretty utilitarian. Every part has a purpose, from the zippered side pockets to the rolled, long handles. But that’s not entirely a bad thing. While I’d love for the satchel to have a sleeker style, if you’re looking for an everyday purse this one won’t let you down.
The functional exterior hints at the joys to come inside. If you were looking for organizational features though, you’ll be sorely disappointed. There’s just one zippered pocket, making this satchel the optimum accessory for carrying larger items. Personally I don’t mind that. There are enough pockets for your smaller valuables on the outside, so it’s nice to find a clutter-free compartment big enough to handle bulky goods. Having said that, the Selene isn’t a large bag by modern standards, which may disappoint folks used to over-sized accessories.
The $170 price tag is on the high side for a bag that’s not made out of leather, but it’s certainly not exorbitant.
