Salvatore Ferragamo stays fashion forward with this elegant top handle satchel.
It makes sense for Salvatore Ferragamo to create a purse like this. Similar top handled satchels are enjoying a fashion renaissance, and the high end label is always on trend. The classic flap-over design and polished clasp give this satchel the right amount of retro flair, but I also appreciate its modern touches.
It’s much larger than the average top-handled satchel. That’s a real blessing, because modern misses need to carry the gadgets women in the fifties couldn’t have imagined. It’s also a bit slouchier than the average retro satchel. That makes it feel a little more casual than its competitors, but it also maximizes storage space. Overstuffing is virtually encouraged!
The addition of a detachable cross-body strap is another nice contemporary perk. While top handles look the part, they’re not very practical when bags are full. Attaching the longer strap does spoil the illusion a bit, but if you’ve got a busy day ahead you’ll be thrilled by its inclusion.
The interior doesn’t exceed our expectations, but the pair of media pockets and the larger zippered one is really all we need to stay organized. And if we’re still searching for space, don’t forget the zippered pocket on the bag.
Salvatore Ferragamo bags are out of the reach of many of us, and at $1950 this one is no exception. However it’s so elegant that if you keep the pale leather clean it should look smart for many years to come.
