Lucky Brand takes the cross-body bag back to the Wild West with its Back in the Saddle handbag.
The purse’s half-moon shape and the delicate tooling around the edge of the flap closure makes this purse look more like a saddle than any saddle bag I think I’ve seen. It’s a clever design approach, but more than just a gimmick on the part of Lucky Brand. The style is very wearable, whether you’re mixing it with a downtown ensemble or your favorite thigh high boots and a cowboy hat!
The quality of the leather is amazing considering the bag’s more than reasonable price of $149. It’s been tumbled to make it super soft and supple; this is the sort of thing you’ll find yourself absently stroking.
That might make you think Lucky Brand has skimped on the features, but I really can’t see any corners cut. The Back in the Saddle is a great mid-sized bag, not large enough to weigh you down but not so small you need to leave vital items behind. The single zippered pocket inside may be disappointing ordinarily, but when combined with the large slide pocket hidden underneath the flap I feel like we’re taken care of.
It’s not very fashion forward, but this Back in the Saddle bag certainly offers enough to tempt me.
