Kathy Van Zeeland fans are sure to feel their heart race when they clamp eyes on the Heartbeat satchel. But for the rest of us, it probably won’t be love at first sight.
Kathy Van Zeeland knows her market, and she gives them what they want. The shiny synthetic looks a little tacky, but it does see the satchel priced under the magic $100 mark. When you can’t afford patent, it’s an affordable head turner. The angular zips are a little chunky for my tastes, but they work with the studs and heart-shaped logo plate to add the obligatory KVZ edge.
You certainly can’t fault the purse on a practical front. While it may not be made of durable material, the Heartbeat has everything you need while it lasts. The zippered pockets on the front aren’t just for show; they offer storage space for the small essentials you need at your fingers. The slide pockets at each end aren’t so obvious, but they also offer some accessible storage space. The satchel is a decent sized space for everyday use. You’ll find enough space for everything you need, but it’s not big enough to overwhelm you.
The combination of silver hardware and glossy black synthetic on this Heartbeat satchel reminds me of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and rock and roll. If it’s a little too predictable for your tastes, don’t worry. The Heartbeat is also available in seven other shades.
