I have to say that satchels are definitely the IT bag of the season. Dang... Alexa Chung really has done her job very well when she designed the signature bag for Mulberry this year which made a huge fad on the women's accessories department. When I was flipping around some mag and visited some stores to find bags for my sisters, I can't help but noticed that at least in each store there'll be a satchel on display.
In the September issue of Elle and the latest spread of the ES Magazine, satchels have made an important trend to look out for. From the designer label like Mulberry Alexa and Proenza Schouler, to the highstreet players like from River Island and Debenhams - there's always some for you ladies to choose depending on how you stretch your wallet. I have to say I like the Mulberry Alexa coz it rocks both for casual or to bring it to the office. And with the choices of various colors and finishes, it certainly can make a great investment piece. But if the look that you wanna go for, the one by River Island looks awesome. I happened to check it out recently and have to say the size and finishes is quite good given the price is so much affordable.
Yet, as far as getting one for my sisters - unfortunately they don't fall for anything with fliptop. Probably because they're not living in London where style always changes seasons after seasons. Sadly to say my sisters are much more to the classic look. Or bland. Yikes! (sorry.. :D)
