DKNY has been making high-quality, low-priced versions of upper end designer staples for years. It usually has a good bead on what the current trends are and interprets them in a stylish, wearable way. This cross-body bag brings a lot of current trends together.
Cross-body bags are making a major comeback. The late 90s were replete with them because of their utilitarian appeal. They hold the same appeal now, although we’re seeing them in smaller, edgier styles. The simple fold-over design of this bag and its long, comfortable strap makes it usable and comfortable.
The combination of quilted and smooth leathers provides an interesting, but subtle, textural contrast. Unfortunately, the color is a little blah. It lacks richness. And I’m not terribly sure that the chain accents are really working on this bag. Because the rest of the bag is pretty neutral and conservative, they look a little thrown on.
At $325, the bag is reasonably-priced, but simply not elegant or interesting enough to convince me that it’s a solid purchase.
