The luxury handbags this season are predominantly black, leather, and have some sort of stud or chain embellishment. Partly this is due to a resurgence of 90’s styles – think Chanel Cavier bags with chain straps – and partly due to the fact that this season’s runway styles are also predominantly black, and pretty edgy. Which makes this Chloé bowling bag very of the moment.
But, besides looking great with the rest of fall fashion, the Kira has an air of timelessness. I mean, really, when is black NOT in style? What interests me about this bag is that it’s an edgy, luxurious take on a sporty classic. When I think of bowling bags, I think bright colors and, inevitably, stripes. Well, this bag borrows the bowling shape and makes it wearable for us less athletic types.
Wearable, and also practical. The huge size is actually big enough to hold a bowling ball, or basically anything else you might want to carry. The reinforced bottom means that, despite the suppleness of the leather, it won’t fall apart easily. The interior contains a zipper pocket, but that’s about it, and given its size, I wish it had more organizational options.
Looks-wise, the Kira is sleek and contemporary. But, it’s a little biggish for the shape, and I’m afraid that it might get awkward to carry when full. Also, the removable shoulder strap is super skinny, which looks great, but doesn’t bode well for your aching shoulders.
All in all, I like the Kira, but I don’t love it. It looks good, and strikes a good balance between sleek and sassy, but for me it just doesn’t make a bold enough statement.
