It’s been a while since I wrote about Tory Burch. I used to really dislike her aesthetic, but it’s really grown on me the past few seasons. Not only that, but she’s gotten a lot more street smart, as well, which only makes me like her more. This Amanda shoulder bag is a great example of her putting a classic spin on an exotic style.
There aren’t many lines that get faux snakeskin right. Honestly, I only really like the way Michael Kors does it. Until now. This is a great looking adaptation of snakeskin. The texture is really believable, and the black and gold combination is fabulous.
The shape of this bag is also perfectly chosen. It’s nice and small, perfect to sling over your shoulder or across the body. The pouch shape is unique, given the prevalence of boxier bags and slouchy hobos, and I like it quite a lot. Too bad they put that terribly giant logo on the front of it.
Honestly, it ruins the whole bag for me. The Amanda is just too small and well designed to be overburdened by that huge monstrosity. If it was removable, at $375, I’d say this bag was a steal. But as it stands, you couldn’t pay me to carry it.
