With its high society name, it should come as no surprise that the Vivian from Coccinelle is one classy accessory.
This shoulder bag is structured and smart, a bag of excellent breeding. Wide vertical pleats add interest to the authentic leather body, while the long tassel shows Coccinelle’s playful side. Those pleats really are the star attraction though, so it’s a shame that they get lost in the dark color choices. Deep brown and black are classics, but a paler tone would have made these accents really stand out.
The braided handles are also gorgeous, but I wonder how comfortable they’d feel on shoulders. They say beauty is pain, but I hope we won’t suffer too much when the Vivian is loaded to capacity.
Because this shoulder bag really can hold a lot. Pockets in either side wall help keep the clutter at bay, encouraging us to make the most of all that storage space. My only gripe is the lining, and it’s a minor one. The stripy blue and red print just doesn’t seem to work with the Vivian’s upper crust good looks.
At $425, this elegant and versatile shoulder bag represents great value.
