Have you seen the latest bag from Steve Madden?
Steve Madden Woven Wonder Satchel, US$109
The new Woven Wonder Satchel is indeed quite a wonder. Just by looking at the bag, you can tell that Steve Madden devoted a good amount of time into detailing this number.
Of course, the most significant and noticeable element is the woven front panel of the bag. This woven section is made up of two types of leather, each with a different treatment – one is shirred and shiny, while the other is matte and pleated. Intertwined together, the texture it creates is definitely hard to ignore.
But wait… There’s more! Steve Madden didn’t think this was enough so the brand decided to put more art into the bag by shirring the sides and punching metal studs into the handles; talk about detailing to the core!

The bag also comes with an extra strap in case you want to use it as a crossbody. In addition, its size makes it a perfect piece for office or travel use.

Generally speaking, woven leather bags are priced relatively higher than ordinary leather bags because it takes more time to produce one. The price difference is even more pronounced if the bag uses genuine leather as supposed to using synthetic (faux leather) . Another factor that affects the price is the brand. Usually, woven leather bags made by designer brands are priced at premium.
