Bebe brings us glamour without the high class prices with this Bebe Ruffle Romance bag.
Bebe is a little obvious with its design choices here. Exotic skins always bring a touch of luxury, so it dapples the red PVC with black serpentine scales. Ruffles are the perfect thing for a party purse, so it adds those too. In some ways it seems a little design by numbers, which is disappointing. The combination is a bit busy, and it means we can’t fully appreciate either the print or the frills.
But there are some signs of ingenuity here. The long chain strap has a braided center to help it sit comfortably on your shoulder. The braiding makes another appearance on the zipper pull. It doesn’t just allow us to easily open the purse; it pulls the whole design together.
Like so many cross-body bags the Ruffle Romance is small to ensure it doesn’t weigh you down, but it does come with a zippered pocket on the back to eke out some extra storage space.
It has its little flaws, but for a mere $58 I can overlook them. Can you?
