I’ve been yearning for a structured top-handle bag as most of my bags are either crossbody bags or slouchier top-handles. I hate having to switch out bags so it’s crucial that the bag go with everything and can easily transition from day to night or casual to dressy. The only bags that came to mind that fit the bill were expensive high-end brands such as Celine, Fendi, Givenchy, or Luis Vuitton. Being a handbag enthusiast on a budget, I wanted to find affordable versions of the expensive high-end brands but were still stylish and of quality so I took to Nordstroms online to scour their top-handle selection and that’s when I came across the Zac Posen Eartha bag. This bag looks amazing and very reminiscent of many of the popular luxury designer bags such as the Celine Trapeze Bag, or the Fendi 3 Jours Mini Leather Satchel Bag, or Salvatore Ferragamo’s Sofia Medium Colorblock Leather Satchel.
The Zac Posen Eartha bag just screams class with it’s smooth leather and classic structured shape. The rolled leather top-handle and gold-toned hardware makes this piece feminine and dainty. The bag features a flap top with flip-lock clasp which helps keeps the contents of your bag secure.
The Zac Posen Eartha bag comes in 2 sizes, the original which is a mid-sized handbag and a mini which is very reminiscent of Phillip Lim’s Mini Pashli bag. Both sizes come with detachable shoulder strap which makes the bag versatile. You can wear it as a top-handle, shoulder bag, or crossbody which can serve to easily transition the bag from look to look. It can be worn as a crossbody for a more casual look or as a top-handle or shoulder bag if you are going for more polished or professional look.
