The earthiness of brown leather tends to take me back to the swinging sixties or the wild wild west. But Kooba proves it can scream city chic with this Halle shoulder bag.
Rather than using a common shade of brown, Kooba’s opted for a hue with elegant gray undertones. This works with the silver zip which angles along the front flap to create a look that’s modern, yet sophisticated. Diagonal stitching runs in the opposite direction to add texture and even more desirability. And that oblique flap is the icing on a very delectable piece of arm candy cake.
The Halle turned my head, but it’s what’s inside that’s made me really fall in love. Admittedly it doesn’t exceed my expectations but it makes me feel pampered with its leather trimmed pockets and just right dimensions. The strap is also long and flat, so it’ll comfortably sit on your shoulder and stay there. Really the only thing I miss is metal feet on the base, but at this price point I don’t feel too hard done by.
At $495 the Halle is well priced for a handbag so covetable. It’s not perfect, but it comes so very close.
