With a gorgeous splash of Hunter green and timeless design, Hayden-Harnett has won me over with its Barnard cross-body bag.
This equestrian styled purse is an instant classic, with its gentle curves and sophisticated brass hardware. That lush green colored leather is unexpected, but I think it saves this cross-body from being too pedestrian. It’s my pick of the colors, but with nine different shades available it doesn’t matter if it’s not yours. You’ll also find the Barnard in conservative hues like black and chocolate brown, as well as more youthful ones like mulberry pink and ruby red.
Cross-body bags like this are always practical, but the extra features in this one help separate it from the pack. I really like the zippered back pocket, which sits safely against your body when you carry it, and the slip pocket hidden underneath the flap. The interior isn’t large but it is serviceable, with a pair of slip pockets and a large zippered one in the back wall.
The Barnard probably won’t turn a lot of heads but it’s the kind of purse that could easily work in your wardrobe no matter what the season, and what its trends. That makes it great value for its $450 price tag.
