Sonia Rykiel serves up a fun casual bucket bag for summer with the Capaia.
It’s on trend colorblocked finish makes it feel really contemporary, but I don’t expect this bag to date as quickly as many of the accessories following the fad. Rather than the retro treatment we see in many modern bags, Sonia Rykiel’s opted for classic wide stripes. This timeless pattern is punched up a bit with warm sunrise hues.
By opting for a traditional bucket shape, Sonia Rykiel’s ensured its bucket will continue to endure. I’m not the greatest fan of drawstrings, but I concede it gives the Capaia a playful, casual shape. The relaxed closure also allows us to overstuff it with summer essentials. The spacious interior is well appointed with a zippered pocket, pair of patches, and a convenient key ring. The single strap could stand to be a bit wider for comfort, but as it’s made from calfskin it shouldn’t snap.
As summer’s starting to wind down, I understand hesitating to spend $610 on a bag celebrating the season. But those hues also remind me of fall leaves, and they could probably add pop to cold weather neutrals! If you can use it to punch up your winter wardrobe you’ll certainly see value.
