Two Premium Woven Purses from Shopbop

It’s been a while since we last visited Shopbop to check out the woven bags in the store. We can’t say we’re surprised there are gorgeous new bags in Shopbop because the store has always carried top selections from great brands.

Today we found the following premium woven bags from the store:

One by Campomaggi Woven Bag

The ONE collection from Shopbop features premium fashion pieces. This specific woven bag  from Italian brand Campomaggi is $ 730. It is made of top grade cowhide leather. The bag is lined with canvas and features interior zip pocket and patch pocket.

Here’s a photo to give you an idea what the bag looks like when carried:

The next bag is also very beautiful:

Vanessa Bruno Athe Ethnic Mix Bag

This woven bag is made of suede with pebbled leather trim. It retails for $297. The bag has a flap that can be buttoned at the front.

This bag is small as you can see in this photo:

Would You Buy the Vanessa Bruno Mathilde Bag?

Here’s a designer piece worth pondering over: The Vanessa Bruno Mathilde.

Vanessa Bruno Mathilde

The minute I saw this bag, I was in love. The Vanessa Bruno Mathilde is made of intricately woven soft lambskin leather. But what I especially love about it are the knot details applied all over the piece, as well as the dual fringe panels on the front and back. This is definitely more than your usual woven bag. Even the leather cut outs that make up the fringe look soft and luxurious to touch.

The look of the bag appeals to every girls’ bohemian side – very stylish, fashion forward, and very hippie chic.

Now there’s more to the Mathilde’s beauty because the bag offers function as well. The inside is quite simple, but it has a lot of compartments, each of which is trimmed with the same lambskin leather for a more polished feel.

Interior of the Vanessa Bruno Mathilde

The pockets are not only confined to the interior as the bag also features two slip pockets on the front, and one large slip pocket on the back. With all these pockets, organizing your things in this bag will definitely be easy and enjoyable.

This being said, I would probably consider the Vanessa Bruno Mathilde a good buy except for the small issue of price; because at US$1, 494, not everybody can afford this piece, and that includes me.

Is it overpriced? Of course it is. But if you had the money to afford one, would you pick it over a Bottega? I think I just might…how about you?
