Sometimes we all just want a handbag that gets the job done. A beautiful, well-crafted, practical handbag. Today we can walk into any major department store and when you walk by the handbag department you will be bombarded with hundreds of different bags, some adorned with bobbles, jingles, sequins, hardware, and other extras. Salvatore Ferragamo is a perfect go-to when looking for a well-made and beautiful bag. Sometimes their designs go outside of the box, but typically you can find a practical and classic design from them.

There is something so simple yet so amazing about the Salvatore Ferragamo Leather Satchel. The beige leather looks to be a creamy color of beige, which looks crisp and clean on the fine pebbled leather. The iconic silvertone hardware will alert you to the fact that this is a Ferragamo bag at the front and sides.

The satchel has a top handle with a 5″ drop, which surely would not fit over my arm comfortable if at all. But there is a shoulder strap. This purse is very reminiscent of the Ferragamo bag Jennifer Aniston was seen wearing on the set of of her latest movie. Once you see the bag on Jennifer, you realize how simple yet beautiful Ferragamo bags are. There is a lock closure and inside zipper with two open pockets. Dimensions are 13″W X 8½”H X 6″D.

Also, you all may remember the shot Vlad took of me holding the white Salvatore Ferragamo Convertible Satchel, which you all also loved. For me, this style from Ferragamo is a home run. Buy through Saks for $1650.

Kinda like it, but I've seen very similar bags at better prices. I love satchels (which are not meant to be worn on the shoulder), and I think what bothers me about this bag is the shape of handle.

I like it

Stella Fleuret · Sep 15th, 2009, 04:48 PM

It's okay. I dont like the look of it when using the long strap though, the way the handle just sticks up like that. And I dont like that it's small, either.

It's pretty though. But I would have to see it IRL to really consider spending $1.6K on it.

I don't know what it is about Salvatore Ferragamo, but the bags usually are a bit of a miss for me. This one is no exception.

LV-PRADAfanatic · Sep 15th, 2009, 06:44 PM

nice but pricey

hmm nothing wow about it, but it looks alright.

HandbagAngel · Sep 15th, 2009, 10:54 PM

It is not bad, but I won't spend $1600 for this one though.

Selkie · Sep 16th, 2009, 09:50 AM

It's a nice bag, but for the price, uh no

karo · Sep 16th, 2009, 03:03 PM

What a nice bag! Like it.

M_Butterfly · Sep 16th, 2009, 04:18 PM

I am not feeling it. There is nothing about it that stands out!
