A little heavy metal makes all the difference with this Daphne shoulder bag from Rampage.
At its core this is a very simple, and dare I say boring, shoulder bag. But by adding some chunky silver chain to the sides, Rampage has made it a bit more appealing. The metal doesn’t do all the work though. I particularly like this rich green hue which Rampage calls mallard. This duck-inspired color isn’t our only option though. There’s a brown so deep it’s almost black, an ivory hue called dove, and a dark navy known as eclipse. The colors are conservative but also not as predictable as the shades many labels offer.
The chains really are the Daphne’s big defining feature though, and I’m not sure they’re well executed enough to sell the bag. The interior is mid-sized and serviceable, with just the right amount of pockets. The long, flat shoulder strap is also very user-friendly. But I’ve seen all these elements on other bags that had a lot more going for them.
Then again, those bags tend to be a lot more expensive than this one. At $88 the Daphne is very reasonably priced, even if it’s not very exciting.
