Inge Christopher claims to take its inspiration from the Far East for this Mumbai minaudiere. But this luxe purse with its chic styling seems like it’d be much more at home in an urban environment.
Rather than deliver a traditional beaded minaudiere, Inge Christopher takes a pared back approach. Its finish is cool leather with an exotic snakeskin print. This is a convincing mimic which doesn’t make us long for authentic snakeskin. I love the way this glowing golden hue brings out the mottled pattern, but it’s also available in more conservative black or white tones if you’d prefer.
It is a small purse though, and while its structured oval shape looks good no matter how much is stashed inside it does limit storage space. If you struggle to leave home without the kitchen sink, this may not be the evening purse for you.
If you can travel light though, you’ll be rewarded with this pretty purse. Its looks are timeless, and its smooth leather will feel wonderful in the palm of your hand. If you need to go hands-free though, just pull out the long chain strap. This serpentine strap is detachable too, so it need not clutter up the already small interior.
It may be petite, but the Mumbai offers a lot for its $148 price tag.
