Style Cynics

I love, love, love gun metal grey.

I paint my fingers in this tone all the time. My car is gun metal grey and I even prefer it to stainless steel in many appliances.

Why? Because it looks slightly distressed. Slightly damaged, but well loved.

So that’s why I prefer gun metal grey to any other golden or silver tone for this So what if Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss Rider’ satchel.

This bag is rock star quality…and I’m not talking rock star a la golden girl Beyonce Knowles or silver spoon laden Hillary Duff. No I’m talking worn and battered…sing your guts out coolness that oozes from song writers like Biff Naked or Courtney Love. You see that’s why gun metal grey has an edge that silver or gold never will – its experience.

The other thing I love about this satchel is that it’s huge, so you can use it as an everyday tote bag – and conveniently as an every night bag as well. That’s what a budding rock star would do after all!

It’s covered in sleek distressed leather, and crowned by a glistening Dolce and Gabbana name plate, double handles and cool chain detailing.

For a bold but loved satchel look to the Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss Rider’ satchel for $1,995 from Nordstrom.

For additional edge, pair gun metal grey with python, like in this Perlina Framed Satchel, for $320 at Endless.com.

Or this roughly stitched Elliott Lucca EL Signature Hobo for $228, also from Endless.com.
