Gustto brings some youthful flair to the traditional satchel with this Bonnie bag from its diffusion Miss Gustto line.
The Bonnie isn’t a bad bag, but it’s got a bit too much going on. I don’t mind the diamond quilting which decorates the sage green faux leather, but I’m not such a fan of everything on top of it. The chain accents work well as alternative shoulder straps, but when not in use they look messy, especially that discordant lime green one. Personally I’d remove them for a much cleaner look. The long zipper pulls also make the design feel cluttered.
While the Bonnie’s looks are overcomplicated, its design is quite smart. I love all those exterior pockets and the leatherette trim around the interior pouches. The bright red poly lining is also a bit of fun, and the range of carrying options are a blessing for busy days.
The range of colors isn’t bad, but it’s a little sedate for a youth line. This sage green one is really the pick off them I think. The light pink is a bit dusty to appeal to young girls, and the black and camel alternatives too safe.
I suppose Miss Gustto is giving us value for our $122, but I’d prefer a more minimalist approach with a smaller price tag.
