Sara Berman gives the traditional woven handbag some feminine flair with this Bo Rose Carry-All Satchel.
This is a very traditionally styled satchel, but its woven finish and rose appliqué make it a bit more interesting. However I’m just not sure whether those design elements really gel. The woven leather is lovely and even, if not quite as appealing as a more delicate woven finish. The rose appliqué is detailed and well designed. If these accents were apart I might even be wowed. But together I’m just not sure. It’s a matter of personal taste, but the Bo Rose doesn’t feel very cohesive to me.
The leopard print lining adds another disparate element to proceedings. This wild patterning also doesn’t feel like it belongs, but at least it’s tucked away inside. All those confusing parts makes it hard for me to appreciate the Bo Rose’s positives, its leather trimmed pockets, long rolled handles amongst them, and protective feet amongst them.
Considering its size and intricate detail this Bo Rose satchel probably is worth the $460 Sara Berman commands. But for that money I want a bag that makes a more decisive style statement.
