I was just browsing through Flipkart today, of course through their handbag section, and found some good designs from Caprese. I was never excited by the collection of Caprese but was pleasantly surprised by what I saw on the website. I present below three bags that I would sure like to budget for in the coming days.
My first choice is this large Isabella Tote. What I loved about it at first sight was its unique shape and color. On the website they mention the color as black, so I am guessing this particular grey shade of the bag is out of stock. Though there are no detailed images, it appears there are two pouches at the front running almost through the entire height. It’s not visible whether these pouches are open or have some kind of closing mechanism. But either way, it is very interesting. There is also a zippered pocket at the back as the description goes, but again, no pictures of that. It is made of faux leather, has a handle drop of ~23CM, and measures 50CM x 56CM x 19CM – it is REALLY large! They should include a picture of a model/mannequin holding the bag to put the size in perspective. The exterior is very simple; the unique shape does all the talking. The best part is – it is now available at INR 1650, a discount of almost 50%!
Then comes the Birdy Tote. A very sleek design. What attracted me were not only the design and color, but also the texture, which the description mentions is Ostrich Print Detailing. I think anything that is connected at all to an Ostrich, automatically turns out pretty! There is a cute Caprese charm at one of the handles.
The Birdy is quite roomy – one exterior pocket on the front, one zippered pocket at the back, mobile phone pouches inside, an inside zippered pocket and a zippered central partition that divides the central pocket into two. It is available at a discount of 30%, for INR 1,889.
Black as a color for bags is overdone perhaps – the above colors, sober and also suitable for formal occasions, comes as a whiff of fresh air. But there is one in black that I also liked:
What appealed to me about the Olivia Satchel were – the wide opening of the central compartment (spanning almost end to end), the quilted letter design and the cute Caprese charm. I could not find additional images of this bag either, but the description mentions a zippered back pocket. It costs the most among the three at INR 3,299. This bag reminded me of the Pretty Nylon Tate by “Marc by Marc Jacobs”, only, the letters on the Caprese one are smaller and more prominent.
Flipkart is one of the most trusted e-commerce sites on the Internet today. My past experiences with it have been great – they do record delivery especially in Bangalore, and on a couple of occasions we received the goods the same day that they were ordered. They have a returns policy as well, and though I never had to return anything ordered from them, I am sure the process would be hassle free. Looking forward to my first bag purchase from them!
