Patricia Nash Handbag Review: Rienzo Satchel
You’ll probably love this handbag if…
- You like totes that you can wear over your shoulder or carry in your hand. Although technically a satchel shape, it has tote-like handles.
- You like rolled handles, a smaller purse, and a slightly rustic look.
- You like a balance of structure and softness.
- You like a light purse that doesn’t weigh too much.
You might not love this handbag if…
- You like to carry a big purse.
- You like flashy brand identification and/or lots of bling.

My favorite thing about this bag is…
I love the exterior color and subtle gloss (from the oil-rubbed finishing process), the velvet interior lining, and how it holds just enough but not too much. It’s currently available in poppy red (shown), tan, and floral print. As a bonus, the Patricia Nash Designs flagship store is located in Knoxville, Tennessee! Shop for the Rienzo satchel on eBay, or see it on Amazon.
