Tory Burch is known for creating uptown classics, but lately she’s been experimenting with slightly edgier designs. That doesn’t mean that any of the upscale, uptown appeal of her work has dissipated, it’s just sort of been added to by this new approach. This Carson messenger bag is a great example of Burch’s new, more complex design sensibility.
The black leather of the bag is is smooth and soft, but it’s the chain accents that really make it work. I love the way they are arranged in neat rows. The use of black chain makes the Carson look simultaneously edgy and classy, which is an amazing balance.
I know that, technically, the Carson is a messenger bag. It has a pretty classic messenger shape, but it is so freaking cool, that it’s really hard to lump this bag into the same category with, say, Yak Paks or something.
I am surprisingly not completely horrified by the $550 price tag. It’s expensive, but this is the kind of bag that will last you a lifetime, and with its timeless design, it will look cool year after year, no matter what trends come and go.
