Mary Kate Olsen has been swanning about town with her Alexander Wang Coco bag for months, while we all looked on enviously. But now this studded beauty is set for global release, so we can all get in on the action.
The Coco sets itself apart from the pack with two exciting features: the leather and the studs. Black leather is nothing new, but buffalo leather is certainly special. The washed hide has a luxurious texture and a sumptuously soft finish.
I’d worry about damage to that soft leather if it weren’t for the studs dotting the base. While most bags opt for four or five protective feet, Alexander Wang takes no chances and covers the bottom in gold hardware. It gives the Coco an edgy look while being completely practical at the same time.
A top zip opens to reveal a decadently large interior. If only the designer had considered how easy it would be for most of us to clutter that room up! I might be a scatterbrain, but I’d suggest the zippered pocket won’t be nearly enough to keep most busy girls organized.
If you’re a wisp of a thing like Mary Kate, you’ll be able to carry this handbag over your shoulder. But average misses will yearn for straps that are just a little longer. I certainly wouldn’t want to carry this bulky bag by hand around the city.
Practical concerns aside, this is one sexy purse. And for $850, it’s really not bad as far as high-end designer handbags go!
