I love handbags that have a vintage quality to them. Of course, the real deal is always great, but we don’t all have time to scour obscure vintage shops to find them. That’s why this Francesco Biasia bag offers the best of both worlds. The Allison Satchel has the charm of an classic vintage handbag but with the quality and features we expect from today’s purses.
The Allison is by no means a small bag. This roomy Francesco Biasia number will fit plenty of essential items with room to spare. I can envision it making a great overnight or even weekend trip satchel due to its amount of space. Of course, it’s right in line with the current oversized trend for everyday bags as well.
This satchel has two options for carrying it. You can use the rolled leather handles or the detachable shoulder strap that allows some extra length for convenience. All of the leather on the Allison is real, which we expect on a bag in this price range, but it also has a nice, worn-in look that adds to the vintage feel.
The top closes by a zipper detailed with metal-tipped pulls that add a little shine. I love how the double handles loop through the sides and top of the bag almost as if they are really one long piece of leather. This spacious satchel is lined with a fun, striped fabric and retails for right at $548.
