It’s easy to add a little color to your day carrying this fun Carla Duffle bag from Dooney & Bourke.
The Carla is available in a range of fabrics and prints, but I think this candy colored stripe purse is my favorite. I love the way the primary toned stripes make the white seersucker canvas pop. Some may accuse the pattern of being a bit juvenile, but stripes are so classic I think the label gets away with this vibrant print. I’d happily carry it, although I’d be sure to keep my outfit neutral to avoid appearing too busy!
The Carla really does what we expect from a duffle and then some. The domed design is generously sized with a plethora of pockets. A zippered pouch is complemented by four open slips, ready for holding your personal technology and sunglasses. The space is more than simply practical though; the hot pink lining gives it that extra Dooney & Bourke spunk.
My only hesitation is in the handles. They’re long enough for over-the-shoulder carrying, but a bit too skinny to feel really comfortable. At least they’re made of leather though, so they should be strong enough to hold.
$145 is a reasonable price to pay for this duffle which combines functionality and fun.
