Yak Pak’s Liberty Bowler is one of those rare handbags that surpasses expectations. When I first laid eyes on it, I thought it was cute enough, and that the design seemed practical enough. I didn’t dislike the bowler, but I certainly wasn’t wowed.
That was before taking the Liberty out for a busy day of errands and shopping. Suddenly this bag that I liked well enough became one that I loved.
My enjoyment started as I packed my bag for the day. I needed my essentials of course, my wallet, lippie, keys, and assorted medications. Then there were the extras, the ones that test many of the bags in my collection. I’d need a magazine to read at the doctor’s office, and my bulky camera to capture this happy snap.
Ordinarily my magazine gets creased and my camera weighs me down, but that wasn’t the case this time. With so many pockets inside and out, the main compartment almost felt bare. The front pocket is cleverly designed, with two smaller slips hidden inside. I’d ordinarily worry about storing my keys inside an open pouch, but it’s so deep that I was sure they wouldn’t fall out.
Slinging the bowler over my shoulder, I couldn’t believe how light it was. In fact, many times during the day I worried that I 
might have left something important behind! It was much lighter than the chunky leather bags I ordinarily carry, even with my camera inside.
And while the Liberty’s appearance didn’t impress me at first, I grew to love that too. The plaid print is timeless. It could have looked busy with the wrong outfit, but with something neutral like my white T-shirt and jeans it worked really well.
While this Yak Pak purse isn’t the most luxurious in my collection, it’s quickly become one of my favorites.
