Rebecca Minkoff sends our expectations sky high with the provocatively named Rapture satchel.
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t exactly have a rapturous response when I spied this carryall. It looks nice enough and all, but its conservative tones and subdued details didn’t inspire ecstasy. While Rebecca Minkoff doesn’t achieve all she sets out to with this satchel, it’d be a mistake to overlook it.
There’s a classic charm about the Rapture, with its sophisticated glazed leather and traditional shape. But it’s not completely staid. The angular zippered pockets up front are a great way to combine convenience and style, and the flirty tassel makes sure we all know Rebecca Minkoff isn’t playing things entirely safe.
But it’s when we start to use the Rapture that it really comes into its own. All those exterior pockets are complemented by durable leather trimmed pouches inside. There’s enough space to carry everything you need to survive a day at the office or a serious shopping spree. Those handles are probably a little too short for girls with medium to large builds to comfortably carry over the shoulder, but Rebecca Minkoff has also added a much longer detachable strap.
It might not inspire the kind of bliss Rebecca Minkoff had hoped for, but this Rapture satchel still does enough to warrant it’s $595 price tag.
