Maxx New York dresses up its cheap and cheerful synthetic with this Bridget shoulder bag.
The Bridget’s snake treatment really is lovely. The textured scales make the synthetic shimmer when it catches the light, but they’re not as obvious as they might have been. Something with dark mottled patterns just would have seemed busy on a purse that’s already got so much going on.
All that activity has a practical purpose. The front pockets are a bit chunky for my tastes, but it’s hard to quibble over features which serve us so well. Their curved flaps are mirrored with the larger one which protects the Bridget’s interior. This space is very generous, but its pockets ensure it stays user friendly. Each one is trimmed in more of that serpentine synthetic to make them extra strong.
The choice of straps is another real draw card. The shorter one is perfect for slinging over your arm, while the longer allows you to convert the Bridget into a shoulder bag. Honestly I think this one is much more practical, but it’s all a matter of personal preference.
Maxx New York has crammed plenty into the Bridget, but at almost $200 it still feels expensive for a synthetic bag. Do you think the label’s done enough to justify the price?
