Steve Madden channels Southwestern style with this casual BJanessa bag.
Knitted bags are perfect for the wintery weather approaching, but I’ve never seen one quite like this. It looks like it was crafted from Mexican ponchos, which isn’t altogether a bad thing. I love the way the black synthetic complements the knit’s distinctive print, and the structure the piping gives.
The drawstring closure is a bit of a double edged sword. I’m always a bit down on these clasps, as they’re fiddly to use and not very safe. However there’s no denying that this one looks the part. There’s also a magnetic closure to support the tie, and a long zippered pocket inside, so we’ve certainly got enough places to keep things secure.
The long straps are the piece de resistance. They’re flat, so they’ll sit easily on our shoulders without sliding off. And as they’re so long, you can simply grab them as we’re running out the door!
The BJanessa is definitely a bag for the hippie chicks. Ordinarily we pack our boho items away once summer ends, but this is a great way to wear the look in the cooler months. And at just $78, we won’t mind if it spends half the year in the closet.
