Giuseppe Zanotti Che-Embellished Suede Clutch | Sparkly And Trendy Crystal Embellished Clutch

Posted on: Mar 10

I am going to have to get a little brutally honest here, so please bear with me. GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI, ARE YOU SERIOUS? This whole Che Guevara motif is so five years ago. Almost ten. I am not saying there's anything wrong with Che, I admire him as a man and as a revolutionary, but as a fashion icon, I think his days have past.

Now that I've got that out of the way, allow me to recant slightly. I love the kitsch factor on this bag. Nothing could be more ironic than a Swarovski crystal image of Che Guevara on a luxury handbag. Seriously, does Fashion know that this man is a communist?

All that being said, the bag is pretty cute. It has an edgy, blingy, eye-catching vibe that will appeal to a lot of women, communist or no. The shape of the bag itself is elegant and paired down, and I really like the look of the bright rainbow crystals against the matte black suede. It would be really cute with jeans and stilettos or your favorite LBD for a night on the town.

The $650 price tag is another source of immense amusement for me, however. Not only do I think that this bag is simply not worth that kind of cash - no one should pay that much for kitsch - it's just so unbelievably out of keeping with the man's ideals that I just can't help but laugh.
