It looks like B. Makowsky has gone on a shooting spree in Africa with the release of the Nairobi totes. But rest assured animal lovers, these furry bags are strictly of the faux variety.
I don’t know about you, but even knowing B. Makowsky has used faux fur doesn’t completely put my mind at ease here. There’s something so tacky about naming a tote the Nairobi, then pretending it’s made from the precious skins of the cheetah, jaguar, and zebra. I don’t mind a little animal print, but this furry material coupled with the African inspired name seems a bit close to home.
It’s a shame though, because when you strip away its tasteless design the Nairobi isn’t really a bad tote. Its dimensions are generous, and its interior zip and slip pockets are up to the organizational challenge. I also love the addition of a D-ring for keys and a handy zippered pouch purse for loose change and valuables.
I just worry that customers say the Nairobi looks better in its photo. I wasn’t so impressed to begin with, so I hate to think how it appears in person!
