As the season changes from fall to winter women everywhere will begin their pilgrimage in search for the perfect winter bag. Some ladies will want something trendy and bright to battle the impending icy cold weather while others want to mirror the darkness of winter by piling on more black... I chose the latter.
Despite me sizable collection of purses, I have only one black bag. For some of you this may be unheard of, but its true. I have only recently become a fan of the color black and I am realizing that I need to incorporate more of this staple color into my whimsical wardrobe. Since this realization I have loaded up on black boots, heels, wedges, pants, dresses, but I still do not have the essential black bags (i.e. a clutch and structured bag). Thus my goal this winter is to catch the elusive black structured bag...
I have narrowed my search down to 3 great specimens; the first is the Sloane Satchel by Madewell for $298.
What I enjoy most about this bag is the shape, the ability to adjust the crossbody strap, the sturdy handles and the front pocket!
The second bag that has caught my eye is the large Selma Satchel by Michael Kors ($358) because of its sleek edges and clean lines. Although, it is a bit pricey this minimalist composition is timeless and will last for years to come.
Last, but not least is the Rebecca Minkoff 'Amourous' Satchel ($325). This purse has tasteful gold detailing along with a perfect structured rectangular bodice and zipper detailing along the edges. It is a bit more trendy because of the zipper detailing, but still a great structure bag to sport on your arm this winter.
In my opinion the most important common denominator among my bag contestants is that they are all 100% leather. After, coming back from my most recent trip to Italy and seeing the quality of good leather, its durability, texture and overall timelessness I am a convert. From now on my 'investment' bags have to be leather!
Which bag would you chose? Why?
