Gorjana reminds us that cross-body bags can be sophisticated with the Madison.
All too often cross-bodies are casual, boho styled affairs, but this one is a more elegant creature. Its pebbled leather body is a very pretty pale gray, and since Gorjana has used lambskin it slouches in all the right places.
It’s certainly not slovenly, but those gentle pleats really emphasize the quality of Gorjana’s materials. Hidden stitches complete the Madison’s timeless design.
I’m particularly impressed by the Madison’s carrying options. We have the choice of a short shoulder strap or a longer cross-body one. Each one simply detaches so you can enjoy the carrying mode that’s most convenient without excess straps dangling about. This makes the Madison look much cleaner than most convertible purses, and in my opinion much more refined.
If I have any complaint at all, it’s the lack of zippered pocket inside. The three open pouches should help us stay organized, but I’d love a spot more secure for my keys and loose change. The zip top closure does offer some protection though, so the omission isn’t a deal breaker.
That’s especially true at this price, a relatively affordable $320. That’s still not small change, but it’s less than I’d expect to pay for a bag of such timeless style and superior quality.
