Melanie Paris Multi-Texture Patchwork Grey Handbag

€34.90
Tax included

The top of this handbag closes on a zip that runs the whole opening, so nothing sits exposed on a crowded train. Below it, the front is broken into four grey surfaces, each with its own weave, and a second zip cuts across them on the slant.

The back keeps out of that argument altogether: one plain panel, one flat pocket. Inside, a printed lining brightens the bottom of the bag.

It closes on a zip, right across the opening

Start at the top, because that is what you use first. The zip runs the full width, which rules out the quick one-handed dip you get with a magnetic tab, and rules in a bag you can put down without watching it. Nothing here is stiff: laid flat, the sides fold in on themselves, so the shape you see is the shape of whatever you packed that morning.

The front is broken up, the back is not

Colour barely shifts, so the interest is all in the surface. A finely woven band takes the top, a paler speckled triangle sits to the left, a smooth faintly clouded panel holds the base, and raised plaited ribs finish the right-hand side. The back drops all of it for a single unbroken face, with one flat zipped pocket set across it, gunmetal to match the eyelets.

What does a grey multi-texture patchwork handbag of 43 x 30 x 14 cm actually swallow?

Put a 50 cl bottle in and it stands upright with room to spare above the cap, which tells you more than the numbers do. The 14 cm of depth is the figure that matters, because width alone would only give you a flat envelope. Four openings share the job:

  • The full-width zip along the top edge.
  • The diagonal zip cutting the patchwork at the front.
  • The flat zipped pocket on the plain back panel.
  • A patch pocket inside, cut from the same printed lining.

Straps, and the jump in size

Two short flat handles rise from metal eyelets at the top corners, close enough to the body to be carried in the crook of an arm. The adjustable strap clips straight on and off at two snap hooks, which is the whole point of having both. Nothing about that is unusual, but the scale is: at this width, it is a size up from most of the handbags built on a smaller frame.

If the width is the reason you are here rather than the closure, the comparison shifts sideways to open-top bags of a similar span, which trade the zip for easier reach.
