The Tess tote from Joe’s Jeans is one of those rare creations; a handbag which looks modern without running with the pack.
Joe’s Jeans keeps its individuality by creating unique accents that refuse to bend to trends. You can have your studs and sequins. Joe’s Jeans would rather accent its tote with edgy straps and pretty ruching near the entry. The combination is one that’s feminine but full of attitude, like a modern day Pat Benetar.
While the details are contemporary, the material is classic. That washed lambskin is so opulent and appealing, and in basic black it should easily slot into your wardrobe. While some may accuse the color of being a bit pedestrian, I think it helps to temper those unusual decorative details.
The interior is generously sized, but it’s got enough features that this is an advantage rather than a flaw. There’s a large zippered pocket and a pair of open pouches, as well as a fob for holding your keys.
At $325, the Tess strikes that balance between classic good looks and interesting details at a relatively affordable price.
