The strange shape of this Soap Star tote is made refined by Kathy van Zeeland’s great use of neutral soft leather.
That shape was what drew me to this bag in the first place, like a moth to a strangely bright flame. It just struck me as a great combination of function and looks; the rounded slouchy bottom has room for all your belongings, the funky zip detail provides pocket space, and the organic looking handles are comfy too. It is perhaps a little taller than most people would want in a bag, but in a market saturated with purses that all look the same, the Soap Star really stands out.
I rarely like a cream purse; I find the color impractical for living in the real world! That said, I don’t mind the sand color in this tote, and actually prefer it to the shiny black or peculiar purple options. It also works well with the coordinating gold/bronze hardware, which manages to look antiquated with ease.
Inside this Kathy van Zeeland tote is a bit different to the muted sophisticated exterior. The paisley-style print is bright and colorful on a brown background, and whilst great for hiding stains I am not sure I am convinced by it. That said, pattern loving is totally a matter of personal taste!
