Pilar Abril gets colorblocking right with this retro Nenufar satchel.
I haven’t always warmed to the colorblocking trend, but by keeping the colors gentle and harmonizing Pilar Abril has created an accessory I can really get behind. The combination of pale teal and mint green is unexpected but stunning, especially with its chic snake print finish. Unzip the front though and you don’t just get extra storage space. A white panel peeks through, complementing the white swatches near the handles.
The Nenufar’s curved wooden handles fit in perfectly with the satchel’s retro design. I love the look, but I accept they’re not altogether practical. They’ll work fine if you’re traveling light, but once the Nenufar gets any weight they’ll become uncomfortable to carry. Adding a longer shoulder strap would have fixed the problem, but I’m not surprised that we don’t get it for this price.
That price is a relatively reasonable $92. I had hoped for genuine leather, although I certainly wouldn’t expect it, especially considering all the style and substance Pilar Abril already gives!
