Jesselli Couture Gingham Shoulder Tote | Red Check Floral Embroidery Purse

Posted on: May 14

Jesselli Couture Gingham Tote Jesselli Couture goes old school with this embroidered Gingham tote.

Frankly this is the kind of purse I expect to see old ladies peddling at my local crafts market. There's no denying the work that's gone into it. The white ribbon embroidered flowers are intricate and quite striking. But while I appreciate the workmanship, I'm not sure it has a place in the modern fashion landscape. The red gingham fabric only makes it appear more old fashioned.

I'd hoped Jesselli Couture would wow me when I looked inside, but there's no such luck. All we get is a magnetic clasp. That's right folks; there are no pockets or pouches, not even an interior lining. In short, this tote is about as basic as it gets.

This tote's $95 price tag really isn't bad considering its artistry, but I'm still not buying. I've seen some great totes from Jesselli Couture, but I'm afraid the label's missed the mark here. If you like it and you've got some craft skills I'm sure you could make a similar bag for less.
