VBH is one of the hottest names in fashion at the moment, but the brand is still a little hit and miss for me. Thankfully in the Tootsie, I think the label may have a hit on its hands.
It’s not that the design is revolutionary; I’ve seen plenty of structured satchels in my time with this same trapezoid shape. But VBH does it so well. The python finish is exquisite with its surprising combination of bright teal and chocolate brown. More reserved colors are also available, but I love this daring look. It really dresses up the traditional design, taking it from the background into the spotlight.
The straps are shorter than I might like, but this bag isn’t so big that you’ll struggle to carry it by hand. The gunmetal buckles are the perfect complement to these handles, a much better choice than more obvious shades like gold or silver. The same metal is used for the frame, which gives the Tootsie its vintage-style structure.
At $3500 retail this won’t be an impulse buy, but it’s a pretty appealing investment piece.
