Jessica Simpson might be getting some flack these days about her clothing choices, but she’s still got some cute purses. It is undeniable that her company’s line of bags has some of the best affordable yet trendy options out there. Her personal fashion reputation might be slipping a bit, but I don’t foresee the sales of her brand declining at all.
The Tempest tote is a perfect example of the southern diva’s chic designs. Though it isn’t real leather, this oversized handbag has plenty of features that make it worth its price tag. The cappuccino brown is warm and inviting on the slightly textured material. You can also get the Tempest in black, blackberry purple, and olive green.
My favorite detail is the leather strap that connects to each of the handle anchors and loops from one side of the bag to the other. It gives the appearance of being a continuation of the shoulder handles themselves.
A leather hang tag and the bottom panel both bear the Jessica Simpson signature logo. The inside is lined with a cute brown gingham fabric and contains a zippered pocket for extra storage. This tote’s spacious interior compartment closes with a magnetic snap. The Tempest is available as a hobo bag as well. The cappuccino tote version is priced at a very reasonable $98.
