If you took a classic top-handled satchel and shrunk it down, you might have something like this Edith bag from Melie Bianco.
This purse is very petite but it’s made a big impression on style bibles like The Rachel Zoe Report and People Style Watch take note. They were wowed by its attention to detail, and its low cost.
Melie Bianco keeps the price down by using its favorite faux leatherette rather than genuine calf or lamb skin. The material is too thin to really fool us, but its pebbled grain makes it an excellent mimic from a distance.
A purse so small is easy to carry using the top handle, but Melie Bianco knows modern misses love a hands-free option. We’d never see it on an authentic vintage handbag, but we’re happy for the convenience of the detachable cross-body strap.
With Mad Men set to make its television return next month, vintage styled bags like this are hotter than ever. At $70 carrying the Edith is a great way to stay on trend without spending a lot of money.
