While I have already posted about the Sandhurst Wristlet, I had not yet had a chance to look at all the purses in Banana Republic’s most recent Premium Handbag collections, the Sandhurst and Chatham lines. After receiving an e-mail yesterday morning, I decided to take a look at the new fall arrivals.

Just as I expected, some of the bags in each collection caught my eye, while others didn’t do anything for me. Each collection has its fine points: the Sandhurst has more of a casual feel, with soft leathers and relaxed shapes, while the Chatham is more traditional with equestrian details.

My favorite piece is probably the Chatham Satchel ($298). I like its shape and the way it sits on the shoulder, plus the fact I could carry it to work and on the weekend—a multitasking bag!
