Over the years Ugg has earned a reputation for being as Australian as meat pies and kangaroos, embraced by the world for their feel-good sheepskin accessories. This barrel bag plays things cool, keeping the snuggly wool inside to create to a look that’s appropriate all year round.
My major problem with this handbag is that it takes few risks. The cylindrical shape is typical of barrel bags, and there’s little here to dress it up. The front slip pocket gives a little extra storage space, but it does nothing to enhance its looks. The choice of baby blue, pale pink, and sand colors is also a little snoozeworthy.
The purse’s greatest drawcard is that soft wooly sheepskin lining. There are no bells and whistles, no organizational features to speak of. But reaching inside to grab your keys or cell phone is akin to receiving a warm hug.
Is all that worth paying $140 retail? Probably not. For me this purse plays things a little safe, despite its obvious quality. Yet Ugg bags tend to walk off the shelves quicker than boutiques can stock them, so maybe value doesn’t matter so much!
