The old adage that good things come in small packages certainly holds true for Radley’s D’Arblay.
I’ve fallen hard for this pint-sized purse. Brown usually bores me, but in suede the color gets a whole new depth. The golden hardware is a beautiful complement to the conservative hue. And how darling is the bow-shaped clasp?
I’m never the greatest fan of chain straps, but even that’s bowled me over. Rather than a stock standard silver chain the D’Arblay features a delicate golden one. Its double strand of links looks super luxe and its leather center cushions our shoulder, so we get the best of both worlds.
The petite interior compromises storage space, but I’m impressed by what Radley’s crammed in here. The zip and slip pockets are trimmed in leather, and the built in mirror is always on hand for those emergency cosmetic touch-ups.
The D’Arblay certainly has a vintage feel, but something tells me it’ll look stylish long after our infatuation with the fifties has faded. Or at least as long as the suede holds up!
