As far as basic, practical satchels go, Francesco Biasia seems to have figured out what women want. The designer always manages to create handbags with simple lines yet also extraordinary storage. Purses like the Butterfly Glam and Good Girl show how solid-colored bags are a great way to keep the look uncomplicated without compromising functionality.
The Hot Stuff satchel also fits the bill. This dark leather purse might seem overly basic at first glance, but don’t overlook the details that make it worth the price. Its extremely generous size makes it great for followers of the oversized bag trend but also great for tucking in several additional items on a day or evening out. I would even suggest using it as an overnight bag if you’re generally a light packer.
Unlike some of Francesco Biasia’s handbags, the Hot Stuff satchel is made from real leather giving it the mid-range designer price of $498. I love the gunmetal hardware on the handle rings, decorative studs, and flap-lock closure bearing the signature logo. Tone on tone stitching adds some subtle detail as well as the delicate pleating on the front.
As far as storage goes, you’ll find exterior flap pockets and multiple interior pockets including one for you PDA. Let’s not forget the roomy inside compartment that makes the Hot Stuff fit the extra-large category. This Francesco Biasia satchel also comes in dark gray.
