Joy Gryson takes us from the nine to five grind through to the weekend with this versatile St. Jean satchel from her Olivia Harris label.
The St. Jean gets its flexibility from its classic color palette, refined design, and functional features. It’s not really a head turner, but its warm beige lambskin body is lovely. I’m not so sure about the chestnut calfskin Joy Gryson’s chosen to accentuate it, but the contrast isn’t too jarring.
The St. Jean’s generous dimensions never feel unworkable thanks to its unique triple compartment design. Each section is spacious enough to hold essential items, but not so big that they become lost. Extra pockets in the side walls are perfect for stashing keys, cell phones, and other items we need to find in a hurry. The pair of long buckled handles are perfect for grabbing as you’re heading out the door, no matter what your destination.
As it’s part of Joy Gryson’s diffusion line the St. Jean satchel is priced affordably at $495. While that’s not chump change, it’s very reasonable for such a versatile leather accessory.
