Donna Karan’s diffusion line, DKNY, has been bring trends to the masses for decades. Women love Karan’s casually chic design sensibility, and thrifty fashion mavens love the lower prices of the DKNY line. This shopper is a high quality leather alternative to the leather totes of pricier lines.
The pebbled red leather is eye-catching and durable. This is one bag that will take you from the office to the market to the gym, and look at home in all environments. The traditional shopper shape and lack of over-embellishment make it extremely versatile stylistically, as well. You can carry this with khaki shorts and sandals or wear it with heels and a suit. Either way, it will be right at home.
The size is generous enough to carry a whole slew of paperwork or a bounty of fresh veggies, whichever you choose. The only problem I see with the bag is the way the sides flop out. The rest of the bag is supper structured. These flexible sides will give you more room, but they also look a little sloppy, which is in contrast to the minimalist design.
Also, I’m not sure that the turn-lock fastening on the top is sufficient for a bag of its size. If you’re just using it for veggies or papers, fine. But if you want to keep your wallet or any valuables inside, you might want something a little more secure. At $295, this shopper is affordable and versatile, but not as well designed as I would like.
