Shakespeare’s favorite heroine has joined the 21st century with this modern Juliet satchel.
This satchel has a style which is contemporary, yet somehow classic. The pretty angular pleats are more unexpected than vertical ruching. They draw our eye to the center of the bag and its casual tie. I imagine this as a modern alternative to a bow, an accent that’s feminine without being fussy.
I love the design, but the fabric lets it down. I can’t help imagining how much more beautiful this bag would be in genuine leather, or even a higher-quality faux variety. This material is thin and too glossy to really convince us. Then again, if we were to swap it for a more luxurious skin, the Juliet would cost more than the $69.95 retail value.
If you’re a girl on a budget, you probably won’t be too disappointed with what you get here. The Juliet looks the business, from a distance anyway, and it’s got space to spare. The generous interior is backed up by plenty of pockets and pouches to keep your goodies in order. There’s also a detachable shoulder strap to complement the short dual handles. It might not be the most opulent handbag around, but we sure can’t complain about its features!
