If you’re planning to hit the post-Christmas sales, you’ll need a shopper that’s up to the challenge. This Kathy Van Zeeland may not be large enough for serious mall addicts, but it manages to pack plenty inside.
Kathy Van Zeeland’s bags are often a little too trend-conscious for my tastes, but the designer reins herself in here. Rather than mixing up all the latest looks, KVZ focuses on just one: studs. The metal squares are as big and bold as you might expect from the brand, but at least they’re not competing with other accents for attention. I also like the way the studs prettify the front pockets, taking them from a practical feature to the purse’s centerpiece.
The belt, a Kathy Van Zeeland trademark, cinches in the top of the purse. This creates casual pleats which many girls will love. I’m not convinced though. If this were a soft leather purse, it’d look lovely. But here the feature only highlights the stiff synthetic used.
Aesthetics aside, the belt also makes this shopper a little fiddly to get into. By the time you’ve loosened the belt and unsnapped the magnetic clasp your cell phone won’t still be ringing. At least we know our goodies are secure though. And with two open pouches and a zippered pocket, they should stay organized.
This spicy shade is called pepper, but it’s just one of the many color options. With six different hues, including sun yellow, basic black, and a striking color-blocked look, there’s bound to be a Connect Four Belt bag to suit your wardrobe.
