Since 1981, Linea Pelle has been handcrafting high quality leather accessories. They use washed Italian leathers, which give them a unique worn-in look and feel. The carefully thought out, trend-driven details of the Dylan Croco shoulder bag are typical of Linea Pelle, which has become a celebrity favorite for the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
For me, the Dylan Croco bag is pretty much the perfect handbag, because it embodies my favorite trends in timeless style. The rock ‘n’ roll look of the bag beautifully interprets the current love of everything motorcycle-inspired and balances its edgy look with luxurious quality.
The two front zipper pockets look tough and raw against the background of the soft, washed lambskin, and the bright, goldtoned brass hardware really stands out against the black. I love the grain of the hand-pressed crocodile, and since it is actually made of lambskin, it has the added bonus of bringing the Dylan out of the exotic price range, and into the reasonable (about $545 retail).
The rolled-leather handle fits comfortably on the shoulder, and the bag sits nicely against the body. The 14.5″ x 15″ size is big enough to make it great as a take-everywhere bag, and it’s hard-edged details will easily take you from jeans and a t-shirt to heels and a mini-skirt. The slouchy, crescent-shape of the bag makes it both ergonomically correct (it fits right into your curves), and pleasing to the eye.
The Dylan is a great choice for adding a hard edge to preppier styles, or for bringing that little extra to a look that is already heavy on the attitude.
