Sometimes I think that Matt & Nat handbags are more impressive when you them in person rather than in photos, but this is one case where the purse stands out nicely in a photograph as well.
The Werner Japanese Paper Tote features Matt & Nat’s signature crinkled manmade leather texture. Although some people might say that the brown is basic, it really brings out the nuances of the handbag’s texture where it might otherwise be lost with a bolder or brighter color. Plus, the cognac color is not exactly what I’d call a run-of-the-mill brown. It’s a rich, vibrant hue that catches the eye but wouldn’t clash with much.
The tote has a nice a-line silhouette that typically provides a decent amount of storage space inside. The Werner is no exception to that. Its slightly flared sides and significant depth allow for tons of the kinds of things that women tend to stuff in their handbags. The size and shape of the bag isn’t exactly user-friendly for the petite, but it’s just fine for the average fashionista.
With its spacious interior, I would’ve liked to see a tad more organizational pockets inside or outside, but there’s an acceptable amount present with one large zippered pocket on the outside and one on the inside. The interior is lined in Matt & Nat’s famous faux suede made from recycled plastic bottles. The craftsmanship and attention to detail on the Werner is impeccable and what I’d expect from the brand. This is definitely one case where a faux leather tote is worth its price of $225.
