Helena de Natalio takes slouchy to new levels with this lush Sofi satchel.
The Argentinean leather is gorgeous with its subtle grain and buttery soft finish. This sumptuous fabric helps the Sofi to slouch in all the right places. This gives the satchel a devil-may-care nonchalance which is oh so appealing.
At least, it is while you’re carrying it. While it’ll look very Euro-chic while you’re strutting around the High Street, the Sofi will lose that appeal the moment you sit it down. The unstructured design will simply become a puddle of luxury leather, a shadow of its former self.
The interior is also disappointing considering the Sofi’s size. A single cell phone pouch and a keychain are woefully inadequate for a bag of these dimensions. Some may argue the only things you need to find in a hurry are your phone and keys, but I personally need many more pockets.
It’s up to you whether you buy a handbag to look good over your shoulder, or whether you care about more practical concerns. At $495 though, a relatively affordable price for a luxury leather handbag with European pedigree, I don’t mind making a few sacrifices!
