Diane von Furstenberg’s 440 Bag, in Black Leather & Raffia

Diane von Furstenberg’s 440 Bag

So in love with this DVF 440 Bag!

 I had seen this DVF satchel a few months back and I thought that it’s just perfect. The shape, the leather bottom with raffia body, the large strap, the top handle, the size of the bag, the adjustable fold-in sides. I mean everything about it… it’s just a quality bag!

Info about the bag:

• The size is large so it’s great for work or just carrying all of your stuff throughout your busy day. *I can fit file folders and books in it, perfectly fine.
• Mine is in the black leather and raffia combo. Which I think is the perfect style for this spring and summer. I am also sure that the raffia can easily transition into fall because it’s black.
• The size of the one pictured is considered a “small.” However, I have to say it’s actually quite large… as I mentioned before it can fit file folders. But it’s not too large where it’s overwhelming for using it as daily bag. I bought mine on gilt.com and they call it a medium sized satchel. But take note that on the DVF website/online store it is a “small”. According to the DVF website the dimensions are 11 inches in height by 15 inches in width.
• The fold-in top sides gives this satchel bag 2 styles in one. I generally use it with the top sides folded in (See image below). But when I am carrying more items or folders and books in the bag, the sides have to be let out (see image above). I like the bag’s look either way.
• Having two straps for different carrying options is great. I did not think I would use the longer “crossbody” strap but I do all the time. Also, having the top handle strap gives me the actual look I had intended for it- a cute top handle satchel.
• The little mirrored lips (pictured in the top image above) comes out of the DVF tag and is for using when you need to add another touch of gloss or lipstick. This mirror is a signature of DVF with her bags and is a cute feminine and functional touch.

ItGilt.com no longer sells the bag but you can find it here on Shopbop, on sale
