Ellington is one of those rare brands that always surprises me. Never one to stick to just one style, the label seems just as comfortable creating practical travel bags as contemporary style statements. This Belmont Pochette happily falls into the latter category.
Pochettes tend to be glamorous creatures, so it’s refreshing to see Ellington create something much more down to earth. She’s a modern creature, with a bold black belt cinching in her leather body. There’s a choice of five hues, with basic black and gray catering to traditionalists and vivid purple, turquoise, and red offering something different for girls who love to take fashion risks.
The belt makes accessing your precious cargo look difficult, but this is merely an illusion. The flap simply folds over, leaving only zips to contend with. The dimensions are generous but not unmanageable; you’ll be able to fit everything you need to enjoy your evening inside, but you won’t struggle to carry this purse by hand.
Ellington does offer a hands-free option though. A leather strap can be easily attached to convert the pochette to a shoulder bag. Leather feels luxurious on your shoulder, but can often look out of place on an evening bag. But not here, where the strap complements the modern belted accent.
At $135, the Belmont is a versatile option for girls who crave high quality style on a budget.
