Be & D Genesis Bag | Practical Black Pebble Leather Purse

Posted on: May 11

Be & D plays it safe with the Genesis bag, but that's no reason to dismiss this classic purse.

This isn't what we expect from the label; there are no studs, no ruffles, and no bows. Be & D's trademark sense of whimsy seems to have been forgotten altogether. While that may disappoint the label's legions of fans, I think it also gives the Genesis a more evergreen appeal.

A bag like this should be in every woman's wardrobe. Its black pebbled leather will never age, and its whipstitched edges and push-lock clasp add just the right note of style. It's the kind of purse you could carry to the office, to after work drinks, to the movies, and almost any social situation. No one would turn their head to look, but it would never appear out of place.

And it's that classic appeal which justifies its significant outlay. At $1095, this is no impulse buy. Instead consider it an investment piece for your fashionable future.
