Alexander McQueen Faithful and the Satchel Trend

A favorite of Kate Hudson, it is most detailed bag of this group, this satchel has more of a biker edge to it with zippers galore, harness straps and ribbed stitching reminiscent of shoulder detailing we’ve seen on some motorcycle jackets. This bag packs features galore with loads of pockets for all of your needs. I’m loving this pretty pastel pink to offset the edge of the styling. Also available in tan and black with Medium (17” x 11” x 5”) and Small (14” x 9” x 4”) sizing available. The median priced bag of the group at $1175 – $1450.

When Proenza Schouler launched it’s PS1 line, it was an instant hit with sell-outs everywhere. It’s casual sophistication made it versatile and smart looking urban glamour. A sharp compliment to this seasons military styling. This season, the PS1 comes in a yummy raspberry leather for a pop of color if you choose. The satchel comes in Medium at (12” x 9” x 6”) and Large (14” x 9” x 6”) as well as black, camel and my coveted raspberry. $1595 to $1995.

Which brings me to the Mulberry’s Alexa bag. Another classic favorite in the satchel lineup. Shown in Oak buffalo leather, this satchel features some shine with a bit more hardware than the PS1. A little more uptown in styling, it’s still a major statement bag for preppy-girl cool. Featured in regular (12” x 9” x 6”) or oversized (14” x 13” x 5”) in camel and black. Slightly less expensive than the PS1 at $1150 to $1250.
