I Am In Color Crush with This Great Uno Alla Volta Bag

This post is a review of an Uno Alla Volta Florentine leather crossbody bag. Read my thoughts on this green beauty.

Disclosure: Ad. The green Florentine leather crossbody bag is a sample given to me by Uno Alla Volta for review. The post is not endorsed by them. I wrote it entirely myself. It represents my thoughts and expresses my 100% honest opinion. There may be affiliate links in this post.

I love this beautiful green bag

I received this bold green saddlebag for review. Yes, this great green beauty from Uno Alla Volta is perfect for adding a pop of color to a neutral color outfit like the black one in the photo later in this post or the burgundy and animal print one in the photo below. The bold colored bag is the perfect statement piece. Perfect to make an entrance! I am in color crush mode!

However, just using this beauty for a pop of color would waste a lot of opportunities for great outfits. It would under-use the potential of this great bag. A bold color bag can do so much more for your wardrobe. Just integrate it in the look and make the colors of the outfit the statement. In other words, go for a colorful look. Dive into color crush.

You can wear color over 40

Let’s travel down the road of color crush. I love colors like the next gal and nobody can talk me out of wearing colors just because I am over 50. A bold colored bag looks great with a print dress, print top, print skirt and even color blocked separates. You can create so much interest when you add a bold colored bag to an outfit. Don’t you think so?

Stylist’s secret to style a bold color bag

Here is the secret how to make it work: Repeat the color of the bag in the outfit. It the case of prints, ground the outfit with a solid piece in the color that is dominant in or is the “background” of the print.

Styling inspirations with a bold color bag

Let me explain how these tips play out by reviewing the outfit photos. In the outfit with the pants, the grounding color is burgundy and the green of the artisan handmade Italian leather shoulder bag from Uno Alla Volta repeats in the print of the top. In the look with the dress, the winter white of the “background” of the print and the jacket serve to ground the outfit. The color of the Florentine shoulder bag is repeated in the abstract print of the dress and ear studs.

A colorful statement bag works for many occasions

This bold green bag is also great for visiting open air concerts and festivals as it also works well as a cross-body bag (see photo where I twirl). I used to have a small bag in this style, when I was in my twenties that I wore at such events. However, in contrast to that bag back then, this new Uno Alla Volta green bag is hand-made of great quality leather with a nice fabric lining inside and a zipper pocket. This means items like credit cards and a phone are well secured. <3

What I love about this Uno Alla Volta Florentine Leather Crossbody Bag

I also love that this Artisans made bag closes easily with a magnet. No buckling and unbuckling needed! Thus, one can get the phone out before it switches to leaving a message. 🙂

Why this shoulder purse is a Must-have

Yes, I admit I may be in a color crush. I love a bold colored bag with a colorful outfit, especially, when the bag is so stunning, high quality and affordable. This Florentine shoulder bag was made by sister artisans Alessandra and Elisabetta, the same ladies also crafted the suede clutch/purse that I reviewed some time ago. I am a big fan of their purses. I love their totes and clutches. I can only recommend them. Moreover,

Uno Alla Volta has bags in all colors of the rainbow

When you like the idea of a pop of color or integrating a colored bag into your outfit, but don’t like crossbody style, you will be glad to hear that Uno Alla Volta also has color bags in other styles like suede bucket bags with a tassel in a contrasting color, bags with bamboo handles, and structured handbags in statement colors. I love their bucket bag in forest green or sky-blue. Orange or yellow are great colors for fall. Check them out. I am sure they have the perfect bag for you too.
