Kate Spade has done it again and produced a great retro purse that still manages to be bang on trend.

With the 80s fashion revival still lingering, bows have been popping up all over the fashion blogosphere. The bigger the bow the better, and many designs have ended up looking ridiculous and frankly unbalanced! Thankfully, as always, Kate Spade manages to make the Barrow Street tote look unbelievable classy. The bow fits with the white strip on the Mini Anabel itself, meaning that the effect is much subtler.

This really wouldn't look out of place worn with a long black dress and bouffant hair, Audrey Hepburn style. The classic black and white combo grants instant access to posh fashion dos as well as into the office, being a very happy medium between smart and casual.

If I was to find a flaw in this purse, which I must admit I am struggling to do, the only option would probably be the slightly short handles. They are still strong and reinforced, however, and I can't think of any real problems. This is cute, reasonably priced, and gorgeous!
