Doctor bags tend to be bulky affairs that we could easily imagine our own M.D. carrying on a house call. But Isaac Mizrahi has given the genre an elegant twist with this chic and sleek doctor.
The traditional size is there, but it’s a lot slimmer than we’re used to. That gives this doctor bag a much cleaner silhouette than its contemporaries. I can just imagine a gloved Hollywood siren of old carrying this beauty.
The narrow design means you’ll have to leave your bulky goods at home, but there’s still plenty of room for daily essentials. Fans of traditional doctor bags may have to redefine what they call essential though!
The short handle suits the purse’s vintage vibe, but it’s not the most practical feature. A removable long strap would have been a welcome option for girls on the go, but I can understand that it might undermine the doctor’s sophisticated look.
I love the look of the bone color, but I’m under no illusions about its staying power. I only wish Isaac Mizrahi had added some more practical tones to the collection. This pastel shade won’t stay pristine unless you save it for a special occasion, which seems such a shame when you’re paying $695! For that sort of money I want something I can show off when the mood takes me!
