Patent orange handbags are beautifully on trend and are great fun this season. They bring to mind vibrant mod clothing and Vespas.
But this particular orange bag made me do a double take. The Sofie looks an awful lot like Vitalio Vera’s Sofia. It’s almost got the same name! But there are a few fundamental differences which makes this worth another look.
The drawstring bow style remains, but it’s a little bolder and edgier this time around. Then there’s that finish, which is sleeker and more sophisticated. Of course it’s simulated patent, but Vitalio Vera fans know that the brand’s bargain basement prices come with some sacrifices. The studs on the handles are also gone, replaced with a cleaner and cooler image. Essentially the Sofie is the Sofia redone for 2009.
The practical styling is one consistent perk. Outside, there are the handy side pockets for stashing the goodies you need on hand. Inside there’s plenty of space, complemented by a zip pocket, a cell phone slip, and another open pocket for stashing your MP3 player or a small camera.
The Sofie also stays true to Vitalio Vera’s cheap and cheerful pricing policy. In fact, just like the Sofia, the Sofie retails for just $39.95. Who says you have to pay 2009 prices for an on-trend style?
