Santi might be an evening bag specialist, but it proves it’s also capable of creating an eye-catching daytime accessory with this Beaded Cross-Body bag.
Santi’s beloved beads are sewn on to the cross-body’s flap for an on trend tribal finish. The rainbow of colors really pops against the purse’s neutral black base. It’s impressive to consider that these bags don’t simply fall off a production line either. The label employs artisans which apply the tiny accents by hand.
With all the work that’s gone into that flap, perhaps it’s unsurprising that the rest of this cross-body is pretty simple. Its petite main compartment is basic, with just an open pocket to help us keep our items in order. A zippered pouch would have been more useful, but it’ll still make a handy place for stashing a cell phone. The chain strap is also pretty stock standard, but it too does the trick.
Really you’re paying for the beading here. That’s really well done, but it’s a shame it’s not better supported by the rest of this $258 bag. For that money I just expect a bit more.
