The Jesse B. Collection takes a break from its traditional frame clutches to create this casual Morgan carpet bag.
Its dimensions may be a bit of a departure for The Jesse B. Collection but all the hallmarks of the brand are there. Its wool material would be familiar for fans. Its houndstooth print is also classic, although its mix of red and black checks makes it feel a bit more contemporary. I like the way this print is complemented by the black corduroy, which also forms the long shoulder straps.
In many ways this is a very traditional casual bag, but the pleats in the front and back give it a little more style. I still wouldn’t swan down the red carpet with it, but if paired with the right outfit you might find it’s more versatile than you’d think.
The interior is the real let down for me. It’s fully lined, but there’s no closure and no compartments either. A bag so large really needs some pockets to be practical. All that space is nice, but without anything to help us stay organized it’s not very user friendly.
I don’t expect the world for $95, but I do expect the basics. The Morgan is cute and classic, but I’m not sure I’d pay that price for a bag with only surface appeal.
