D&G Dolce & Gabbana Maika Pouchette | Ribbed Fabric Evening Bag with Bow-Covered Flap

Posted on: Dec 5

Dolce & Gabbana is known for stepping outside the box a bit when it comes to fashion, and that's especially true for the designer label's trendy secondary line D&G. This Maika Pouchette from D&G fits right in with other handbags with unexpected details from the brand.

Just as the Satin Beaded Clutch surprises with its complete beaded flap and whimsical keyhole detail, the Maika Pouchette has its own version of unpredictable. In addition to the ribbed fabric body, the front flap of this envelope-style bag is covered in little, satin bows.

It almost seems like a cheeky homage to the bow-tie, though I'm not sure if Dolce & Gabbana had any intentions of conveying masculinity with the detail. The perfectly-shaped bows are placed so randomly on the flap that it almost seems haphazard, but I'm guessing that the look is supposed to be fun and fanciful instead.

For women who want a little more of an edge to the style, D&G provided an optional chunky chain strap woven with leather. It takes the look of this pouchette to a completely different place, in my opinion, but does offer another carrying option.
