Rebecca Minkoff punches up this classic structured Flame satchel with a smattering of studs.
Studs are beginning to get a little tired, but the traditional silhouette of this satchel should help make the Flame appear current even once the trend has completely passed.
The evergreen appeal is only enhanced by the studs themselves, delicate things with round domes and square pyramid shapes. They’re arranged in neat rows on each side of the bag; that treatment isn’t as rock and roll as studs tend to be, but personally I think that’s a good thing. By veering left of center, Rebecca Minkoff gives the accents a bit more life.
After the sedate camel colored exterior, I was thrilled to see more of the playful Rebecca Minkoff we’ve come to know and love hidden inside. Sturdy twill is printed with colored birds, brightening up this practical space. The pockets are lined with leather for extra durability, so you’ll have no problems using this as your everyday satchel. At least there’ll be no problems if you can make peace with the fairly short straps.
And if it does become an everyday bag, that bottom line of $595 seems quite reasonable indeed. But is it worth $100 more than any of Rebecca Minkoff’s other Flame satchels? You be the judge!
