I wouldn’t say that I mind Susan Farber’s usual feminine styling, but if I see another of her bags covered in ruffles and frills I think I might scream. So I’m thrilled to see the designer taking a less saccharine approach with this Newport Cross-Body Bag.
It’s still a little girly, but it in a much subtle way. I love the way the curved flap mimics the Newport’s gently rounded body. It gives this cross-body a great retro vibe which is further enhanced by the bold turn-lock closure. I could do without the tassel though. This bohemian accent really seems out of place here. However if you feel the way I do, it’s worth noting that it’s easily removable.
So too is the braided strap. With it attached we can sling the Newport across our body, allowing it to sit casually on our hip during the day. But it’s also detachable, so we can leave it at home and use the Newport like a clutch once the sun sets.
I usually hesitate to carry a white handbag, as this color is prone to showing age more than most. However as the Newport is finished with a glossy glaze, most stains should simply wipe away, ensuring it looks better for longer. At a reasonable $148, I think it’s worth a gamble on this notoriously difficult color.
