Jason Wu offers a luxurious take on the cross-body with this elegant Jourdan purse.
This cross-body is a world away from the casual cloth accessories we see teens toting to music festivals and the classroom. The Jourdan is a cross-body for adults, and ones with very expensive taste at that. They’ll adore its ladylike structured body carefully crafted from creamy calfskin. They’ll also appreciate the way this ivory leather appears even richer against the golden hardware. The metal is used sparingly to maintain the design’s minimalist sophistication.
The chain strap is also a stroke of genius. It’s retractable, so we can sling it across our body or suck it up inside the purse and use it like a clutch. Either way there’s no clutter and no fuss. It’s a shame that there’s no leather insert to cushion our shoulder, but it’s still inspired.
While the interior is small, Jason Wu still makes us feel pampered. It’s lined with thick faille material and kitted out with a zippered pocket. This secure pouch works well with the exterior pockets which are discreetly hidden underneath that flap.
At $1595 the Jourdan will be far too rich for the blood of many bag lovers. However such quality rarely comes cheaply. If you’re looking to indulge, you could spend the money on worse things!
