Bebe Lacey Tote Bag | Perforated Ruffled Black Polyurethane Purse

Posted on: Aug 11

With its pretty perforated ruffles, it was only natural for Bebe to call this tote the Lacey.

This tote's ruffled finish really looks like lace thanks to the tiny perforated holes which dot the polyurethane material. These ruffles fan out from the ruched band which runs down the center of the tote. The dramatic textures make this cheap fabric appear rich and luxurious, although I'm not sure that justifies the price tag. At almost $160 I would have expected genuine leather rather than a synthetic alternative.

At least Bebe offers us a bag that's as thoughtfully designed as it is stylish. The bucket shape makes the most of the tote's dimensions by offering maximum storage space. There's a zippered pocket and a couple of open pouches for organizing your gadgets. The rounded braided handles aren't just chic; they're also comfortable to carry.

The Lacey fits nicely into the current 80s revival. I can just imagine Madonna carrying it with her lacy fingerless gloves and bubble skirt. I wouldn't suggest you try the same outfit, but it might be just what you need to inject a dose of retro style into your wardrobe.
