I’ve never been Longchamp’s greatest fan, but the fashion house may have won me over with this classic Gatsby satchel.
The rich carmine leather makes a lavish change from the nylon the French label typically employs. It works well with the structured shape to create a satchel which is classic, yet eye-catching. It’s a real departure for the brand. In fact, if it didn’t have the jockey embossed on the front pocket I wouldn’t recognize that it came from the Longchamp stable at all! For someone who’s rarely inspired by Longchamp’s creations, that’s a very good thing.
Thankfully the label doesn’t let us down on a practical front. The Gatsby is well sized for everyday use, and while it’s not packed with organizational aids the zippered pocket and key clasp should do nicely. The rolled handles are a little shorter than I’d like, but the detachable crossbody strap is there to help us out when we’re on the go.
At $760, this satchel certainly isn’t cheap. But if you’ve got the cash to spare, I can’t imagine you’ll regret spending it on the Gatsby.
