Roxy delivers another solid, and surprisingly stylish, everyday bag with this Lightning purse.
Perhaps it’s time that we were no longer surprised by Roxy’s accessory efforts. In recent years the brand has convincingly made the leap from surf label to fashion force, so it’s time we silenced those internal critics once and for all. It’s still not really mastered cutting edge designs, but its purses are generally good looking and functional, not to mention appropriate once summer ends.
Given its budget $42 price tag, we wouldn’t expect leather here. But we also wouldn’t expect a synthetic of such quality. Its weathered finish is really striking, particularly in this olive shade. It’s much paler than many olive greens and a little grayer too. In fact, it’s almost a metallic shade, although it’s toned down just enough for everyday use.
The Lightning’s shape doesn’t excite me, but it’s very smart considering this sling bag’s everyday application. It’s deep enough to carry everything you could want it to, and its flat base will help it sit up once it’s set down. The single strap can be slung casually and comfortably over your shoulder or across your body for a more relaxed look.
I’m not completely wowed by the Lightning, but it’s hard not to be impressed by it, especially considering its very reasonable bottom line.
