This bag is dubbed the equestrian feedbag, a name which instantly makes me think of a hessian sack filled with carrots or hay for Mr. Ed. But in reality this Isaac Mizrahi handbag shows a casual sophistication.
Drawstrings typically make a bag look relaxed, but this leather one’s a little more dressed up than the average. It threads through eyelets sitting on oval leather patches for a casual-chic look. This laid-back sophistication is complemented by the soft leather finish. This makes the equestrian feedbag the sort of purse we can take to the office, and out for cocktails after we’re done.
Some might say that the thin leather drawstring reminds them of a horse’s reins. The front pocket has a fun saddle shape too. These quirky little details give the equestrian feedbag its name, but they’re not so obvious that they distract.
The equestrian feedbag is a little on the bulky side, which makes the choice of handles a little confusing. The overall shape of the bag reminds me of a backpack, and those long shoulder straps would have been a godsend here. So to find these short handles in their place is a little puzzling. With a drop of just 6.5 inches, they make over-the-shoulder carrying a little difficult for women with curves. But we’re going to struggle carrying such a hefty purse by hand over any distance.
Isaac Mizrahi’s Equestrian feedback is also available in almond white. This shade looks pristine brand new but is likely to show some battle scars in its old age.
