J.Crew Edie Satchel Assessment
I’m so enthusiastic about this satchel. From what I can inform, J.Crew introduced it again (from when? I have no idea.) and I’m so glad they did. The second I noticed it on-line I loudly stated to my pc display screen “GIMME”. I’ve been wanting a black crossbody and truthfully those I’ve been wanting had been designer. Which is why I’ve been left wanting.
The Edie Italian Leather-based Bag
I really like this bag for a number of causes. First, this can be a nice on a regular basis purse; it’s bought medium storage, it’s clear and stylish and might work with most outfits. The patent permits it to be dressed up, the gold particulars offers it an elevated vibe. However primarily I adore it as a result of it seems to be like a designer bag. If I advised you this was Celine, Givenchy or Saint Laurent, from a distance you’d imagine it. I don’t love the concept of ‘dupes’ as a result of I don’t assume every part must be designer to be invaluable however this one feels excessive finish. There may be nothing about this that feels prefer it’s missing, which is what I really feel like a designer ‘dupe’ implies. Total, that is only a nice purse. The scale, the model and the leather-based are all a basic look that can carry you for years. Or slightly, you’ll carry it. 😉
So kind and performance sensible, it’s on the medium dimension of satchel. I’m a dimension 8 girl, 5’9″ and you may see about the place it hits on me and the scale it’s as compared.
You may store it right here.
The strap is adjustable by the gold buckle in the midst of the strap. It’s a heavy buckle, the clasp as effectively, and it offers this bag probably the most luxurious really feel. You may’t take the strap off, however you possibly can regulate it to your peak. I imagine it offers about 6 inches of adjustment. Proven right here is the usual strap size, as it’s despatched straight from the field.
This bag is available in 4 totally different colours, two classics: white and black and two for spring: inexperienced and light-weight blue. (Aspect notice: in case you’ve beloved my YSL crossbody in white this can be a GREAT choice to copy that look and vibe!) As I stated earlier, I’ve been on the lookout for a black crossbody in order that was my alternative, however the white and the blue are the comply with ups.
Storage + Operate
The bag has a flap opening and the leather-based is construction and thick. I’m not an enormous fan of patent leather-based as a result of I discover it might probably look low cost, however this one offers glam. It’s a delicate sheen, not like low cost patent footwear that apparently have traumatized me from my childhood. The flap locks on the entrance to remain safe. There’s a pocket inside however no zipper. The storage is medium quantity, you possibly can match most of your on a regular basis wants in there, simply no work gadgets (I do know this is perhaps apparent however I needed to level it out, as effectively) Here’s what I can slot in there comfortably:
- telephone
- sun shades
- make-up
- airpods
- small to medium pockets
- keys
- small snacks for you (or your child)
- 2-3 smashed receipts
I simply realized that we didn’t add a telephone to the structure photograph above — please notice {that a} telephone DOES in reality slot in right here. It matches effectively and comfortably in right here. It was simply a type of moments that I stored pondering…’what am I lacking right here…what else would I take advantage of each single day and carry all of the the time and I’d put in my purse?’ All whereas holding stated telephone. By no means not a piece in progress over right here.
_____________________________
Total I’d give this bag 4.8/5 stars. The one factor that I ding it for is that I want the strap was utterly detachable in order that I may simply use it as a clutch as an alternative of wrap the strap inside (it takes up extra room than I’d favor.) However like once more, that solely knocked off like .2 factors. I additionally assume the value is wonderful for this model and high quality, however value is relative so I gave it a 4/5. Total, in case you are on the lookout for a basic look this one is a winner!
