The Sidney satchel by Francesco Biasia combines the best of both worlds when it comes to a sunny weather handbag. It has that just-came-from-the-beach look along with less-casual details that enable you to wear it with a sundress and heels.
It’s the combo of canvas and leather with decorative accents that gives it versatility. While I usually picture bags like the Allison or Misty May when I think of Francesco Biasia, the Sidney is a nice change for the spring.
The striped canvas print comes in three colors, but the pink and yellow ‘Vanilla’ option is a fun, bright choice. I realize that a stripe might not seem as functional in a wardrobe as a solid, but we gals have to have some variety, right? A colorful stripe can add some pop to a simple outfit like a t-shirt with jeans. Don’t underestimate its function in your wardrobe.
One of the great features about the Sidney is the double compartment. Sometimes I think there aren’t enough satchels that have this extremely convenient detail. The two sides are separated by a zippered center section with a few pockets on each side for more storage. The casual Sidney satchel retails for $238.
