In comparison to the bold Choose Juicy bag, the Flagship Shoulder Bag is quite tame. If we’re talking about your basic black handbag, however, it has a little something extra. Without the often-seen Juicy Couture logo taking over the bag, the Flagship seems more grown-up than some of Juicy’s other options but still stands out in its own category.
If it didn’t have any bells or whistles, this shoulder bag would just be a nice, slouchy handbag. For women who want more than an average purse, though, the Flagship has some interesting details and textures that combine to create a unique look. The distressed, glazed leather has a rugged quality that evokes a slight rocker vibe.
It’s not for someone who wants a simple bag, though. A grosgrain ribbon drawstring weaves through grommets around the top of the purse and comes to a bow that lays across one side of the bag. A contrasting vertical band runs from the back to the front creating the flap lock closure. It couldn’t be less simple. In the words of the fashionable judges on Project Runway, it seems a bit overworked. I don’t dislike the details, but they seem somewhat fussy when combined on the handbag.
However, if you love grommets and distressed leather, the Flagship Shoulder Bag is probably a great choice for a basic black bag. The gold-toned hardware adds elegance and displays the signature Juicy Couture logo and emblem. This leather handbag retails for $395.
