It may not have the flair we’ve come to expect from Lambertson Truex, but the practical perks of the Christie make it worth another look.
It’s not that the Christie is a purse lacking in style. The brown leather is elegant and sophisticated, the perfect foil for the gleaming silver Lambertson Truex clasp. The minimalist design is timeless too. The deep pleats are gorgeous, but I’m less convinced by the faux snakeskin trim. Faux snakeskin? On a Lambertson Truex bag? For $1595? I’m not sure why the designer has opted for embossed leather rather than a genuine exotic here, but for the price I expect a lot better.
All is forgiven once you peek inside the Christie though. Its slender good looks are deceiving, because this is really a very roomy space. The dimensions make it perfect for carrying important documents to the office or notebooks to class.
I wish the strap was longer, as only the most petite girls will be able to sling it over their shoulder. Adding a few more inches, or even adding an optional cross-body strap, would make commuting with the Christie so much easier.
The Christie might not inspire the envy of many Lambertson Truex bags, but she’s still a lovely alternative to a stuffy briefcase.
