While I admire Stella McCartney’s commitment to ethical design, I haven’t always appreciated her accessories. Her vegan leather often appears cheap, and her designs uninspired. However she’s ironed out the kinks with this Structured Shoulder Bag.
The blend of polyester and polyurethane is a better leather mimic than most of the materials Stella McCartney utilizes. She’s used it well here to create a ladylike purse that’s both retro, yet very modern. The structured design takes its cues from the fashions of yesteryear, but the golden chains on each side of the strap bring a bit of contemporary flair.
Stella McCartney’s commitment to design hasn’t stopped with the exterior though. The triple-compartment is one of the most user-friendly I’ve seen in some time. It should be a breeze to keep this baby organized, although those partitions mean it’s not ideal for carrying thick novels or other bulky items.
True to form, Stella McCartney charges us a lot for her name. $1195 is exorbitant for a bag made from synthetic, but if your heart is set on a Stella McCartney original this is probably the one to spend your money on.
