Once the go-to line for beach bags and summer accessories, these days Roxy is showing us what it can do away from the sea shore. Stylish handbags like this Swiss Miss cross-body have almost become the norm for Roxy, and I for one am thrilled at the new direction. I just can’t figure out what it has to do with lederhosen and the Alps!
From a distance the Swiss Miss’ finish looks like the most luxurious weathered leather. It’s only when we get up close that we find out the cross-body bag is actually made of vinyl. If you’re expecting cowhide this slightly stiff fabric may disappoint you, but when it costs just $34 I’m impressed that we have even the appearance of luxury!
This gorgeous looking material is complemented by modern black contrast stitching. It makes the handbag almost look like a well-worn pair of denim jeans, and has just the same casual and classic appeal.
For this price you’d expect Roxy to cut a few corners, but it hasn’t skimped on functional features. It’s relatively small by modern standards, but that should be some relief for girls tired of oversized purses weighing them down. A bag of this size doesn’t need much to stay organized, but Roxy still offers a large external pocket and a zippered pouch inside. The strap is fully adjustable too so you can easily convert the bag from a shoulder purse to a cross body.
This Roxy bag may not last more than a few seasons, but at this price we won’t mind that too much. While it’s with you, the Swiss Miss offers a great combination of style and substance.
