Purple is a really hot color this season. We’ve seen it a lot in rock star funky accessories, but it isn’t that often that it looks so preppy and conservative. This satchel by Vanessa Bruno manages to make purple look preppy and utilitarian in a totally new sort of way.
Vanessa Bruno is calling the color of this suede aubergine, but it’s a lot bluer than any aubergine I’ve ever seen. The way this rich jewel tone combines with the rich dark brown leather on the bag is ideal for someone looking for a little color and a lot of versatility.
The shape of the bag is utilitarian and fabulous. It has these brilliant side pockets that you just know are going to come in handy all the time. The multi-paneled flap front looks almost militaristic with the leather strap and buckle fastening, which really works for the overall design. I especially appreciate the minimal use of hardware. I don’t know about you, but I am getting weary of looking at bags covered in metal.
Overall, I think this is a great addition to a somewhat conservative fall wardrobe, but it could also work for a girl with simple, minimal taste looking to add a little touch of color to her life. At $560, it’s priced nicely for the size and quality.
