I was on the fence about putting my seal of approval on B. Makowsky’s haircalf and leather combo Canterbury Tote, which puts this Stuart Weitzman ZipCalico handbag in a shaky place as far as my recommendation goes.
One thing is for sure about the ZipCalico. You can’t accuse it of being inauthentic. If the Canterbury’s animal print haircalf caused hesitation, this tote bag’s by-the-book, true cowgirl look takes things to a whole new level.
There’s no wondering what style Stuart Weitzman was offering with the ZipCalico. Any gal who is fond of wearing a cowboy hat and jeans will fall head over boots for this handbag. I suppose it could also work for women who simply like adding unexpected accessories to an outfit, but it has an undeniable western stamp on it. For me, it just bears too much resemblance to a haircalf rug I’d expect to see on the floor, but there are plenty of others who dig the look.
I guess haircalf and suede doesn’t come cheaply, though. Not completely surprising for Stuart Weitzman’s line, the ZipCalico runs for a whopping $695. I happen to find that price high for such a style-specific handbag. However, you can expect great quality from the brand, which makes it worth the cost if you think you’re in love with it and think you’d have plenty of opportunities to wear it.
