If you thought patchwork was passé, think again. Celine shows us just how sophisticated this finish can look with this Leather Inset Bowling Bag.
I’ve often marveled at the subtle beauty of black on black designs, but I’ve never seen it look quite as stunning as it does here. Celine uses swatches of black leather, deerskin, calfskin, and buffalo.
They’re cleverly assembled to create a subdued abstract design which is modern, yet timeless. This finish really jazzes up this simply shaped bowling bag, ensuring it’s a high end handbag rather than an accessory for carrying balls to your local lanes.
This bowling bag is generously sized, so it’s a bit disappointing that Celine hasn’t supported it with practical features. The single zippered pocket has a very big job to do keeping the interior organized. The short handles are also inadequate. They look great, but they’re going to make carrying this bowler difficult once it’s loaded up. A few extra inches, allowing us to carry the bag over our shoulder, would have made all the difference.
These practical limitations are small niggles rather than major design flaws, but they’re enough to make me pause. When a bag is priced at $1650 I expect perfection, and we don’t see that here.
