This Planetes purse takes the fun, casual style of a messenger bag and gives it a new chic twist.
This Longchamp messenger is made from polymide, a durable fabric which is as tough as Vin Diesel but a whole lot more relaxed. This casual material is dressed up with matching crocodile leather trim.
One thing I tend to love about messengers is their functional design, but that’s been compromised here by the Planetes’ small stature. The tiny interior only has room for one zippered pocket. Two flap pockets up front and a zippered compartment on the back do their best to offer more storage options, but it’s still likely to disappoint fans of the current oversized trend. On the plus side, it won’t weigh you down when you’ve got errands to run.
I can overlook the Planetes practical limitations, but the price is another matter. I know crocodile leather is expensive, but the miniscule amount used here doesn’t seem to justify the $278 retail price. This is definitely a purse to seek out on eBay to get your money’s worth.
