When April showers hit, you’ll be happy to carry this Rubber Shopper Bag from Hunter Boots.
Hunter Boots are more famous for wellington rain boots than handbags, so it’s not surprising that this shopper is quite simple. But what it lacks in fashion forward flair it makes up for in practicality. It’s crafted from the same rubber we see in the boots, so it’s just as resistant to water. But that’s not the fabric’s only perks. It’s also very tough, and it couldn’t be simpler to clean.
It’s not a perfect tote though. The lack of closure is the most obvious omission. After all, while water won’t penetrate the exterior it can easily come in through the top. A zip would have made this shopper truly rain worthy. There is one zippered pocket inside, as well as a few open pouches, but I expect items to spill once you sit this shopper down.
The handles could also stand to be a bit longer. You could squeeze them over your shoulder, but the fit will be very snug. A few extra inches would have made all the difference.
Hunter Boots is a new name to the handbag arena, so we expect a few teething problems. Hopefully in time they’ll iron out those wrinkles and we’ll see a bag with fewer flaws.
Until then $195 isn’t a lot to spend on such a high quality shopper.
