If there’s one thing you can say about Swoop, it’s that the label is committed to its vision. The clean lines and the familiar prints make these bags so easy to spot, but it’s the functional features that keep fans coming back.
This curved trapezoid shape is quite striking, not incredibly daring but something less conservative than I’d expect from the brand. The pattern is very familiar to me though. Honestly, this subtle black on black wallpaper print is the only one I can imagine carrying on a regular basis.
The J’aime pattern, with its Eiffel Towers and beret wearing bulldogs is just a bit silly, and the stark contrast of the black and white Maison and Wallpaper patterns seems too much over such a large bag. Of course though, it’s all a matter of personal taste and if yours is bolder than mine you might love them.
The interior is always where Swoop bags really appeal to me. The elasticized inner pockets offer more security than regular open pouches do, and the ribbed lining is built to last. I can imagine reaching again and again for this bag when popping out to do errands or hitting the mall.
The quality of the material does make me hesitate though. Endless.com customers have called it “horrible” and “cheap,” with some going so far as to return the bag as promptly as it arrived. At a little less than $100 I don’t expect real luxury, but I do expect a bit of class. I suggest looking at these bags in store to decide if the fabric is something you can live with.
