It seems that every second handbag released these days is colorblocked. Most seem like they’re simply following the trend, but in amongst these vibrant purses there are some real gems. It’s becoming harder for colorblocked handbags to turn my head, but the Campbell from London Fog has that something special.
The combination of colors here is really alluring. I love the way the fresh mint green canvas pops against the beige trim. Often London Fog’s leatherettes appear a bit tacky, but by replicating patent the natural gloss of the synthetic becomes an asset. The tassels mirror the cute cutout detail running down the center stripe, but I think they look a little messy. If you also prefer a cleaner look you’ll be happy to see they’re easily removed.
The Campbell is really well designed, with a deep open pocket on the back and several more organizational pockets inside. The trio of pouch pockets is perfect for gadget loving girls, while the long zippered pocket is a handy place for stashing valuables. The rolled handles will probably slide off our shoulders, but on such an affordable bag this feels like nitpicking.
By choosing canvas and synthetic over more luxurious materials London Fog’s kept the Campbell priced underneath the magic $100 mark. The summery finish doesn’t feel like too much of a compromise though with warmer weather ahead.
