So. Dang. Cute. I love the threaded band and the dangling strap - rather reminiscent of another favorite of mine, the previously featured Francesco Biasia 'Gypsy Rain'. In fact, very reminiscent... But I like the Via Repubblica's rich 'cognac' color and the vertical seams. Overall, a little less kitsch than Biasia's offering, especially when compared with the latter's bright 'brick' color. This will set you back a relatively affordable US$388 from Nordstroms. Which do you prefer?
