You probably won’t expect much from a satchel playfully named the Plain Jane, but this Nine West bag is one that might surprise you.
Sure it doesn’t scream the loudest or have all the bells and whistles of those designer It bags, but it’s a bit more exciting than its Plain Jane tag suggests. It may be made from synthetic, but the large crocodile scale texture and rich brick red tone give it a bit of personality. No one would ever mistake it for an authentic exotic, but it does add interest to the bag’s simple retro shape.
The design is a bit too busy for my tastes up top, with a belt competing with a heart-shaped charm, logo nameplate and handle hardware for attention, but that’s all a matter of personal preference.
There’s no faulting the design on a practical level though. Its interior is generously sized and equipped with wall pockets for your cell phone and other small gadgets. The nylon lining admittedly looks a bit cheap, but I can forgive that because it’s so easy to clean. We also have the choice of dual rolled shoulder straps or an attachable cross-body strap when we’re on the go.
For $95, we can also add affordable to this satchel’s description. Surely something so stylish, practical, and recession friendly never deserves to be called plain!
