There’s more to this Ridge Pack from SWIGG than meets the eye. It looks like this tote is made from corduroy, but the New York design firm actually crafts these bags from a unique eco-friendly fiber held together by recycled resin and embossed to resemble the wintry material.
After all those processed you may be concerned about the feel of the material, but don’t be. Touch it and you’ll be reminded of thick felt, perfect for those chilly days looming ahead.
Designer Stephanie Wenzel might not be a handbag specialist, but she shows she really knows what girls need in this tote. It has five pockets inside, and a zippered closure to keep your precious cargo safe and sound.
All that’s missing for me is a little individuality. While the texture is interesting, the traditional tote shape and simple matte colors are a bit safe. That’s surprising really considering the funky fungi sculptures and pandabox storage centers SWIGG also produces. Hopefully we see Wenzel inject the same quirky personality into her purses in future.
The Ridge Packs retail for $90 from Supermarket and the SWIGG Store.
