Joe’s Jeans has created a casual bag to be reckoned with. Meet the Westport.
This is a real departure from the sumptuous leather handbags we used to see from the label. Instead of contemporary styling and a chic skin we see hardy black canvas. There’s a hint of leather on the handles and nameplate, but they do little to really dress this bag up. They’re there for function rather than fashion, which is just what fans of the Westport are looking for.
I must admit, I find myself longing for the sophisticated label of old, but that doesn’t mean the Westport is without charm. It’s the kind of bag that’s made to serve, and in that role it performs admirably. It’s enormous, but it’s got the features we need to make the most of that space. The two large zippered pockets do a great job of keeping our small items in order, while the attachable padded shoulder strap should make carrying the Westport even easier.
I’d ordinarily suggest $130 is too much to spend on a canvas bag, but the Westport’s generous dimensions make it worth the added expense. I can’t see such a large bag becoming a part of anyone’s everyday wardrobe, but it’d be perfect as a weekender or piece of carry-on luggage.
