Lucky Brand Taluca Lake Cross-Body | Mini Faux Fur Purse

Posted on: Jan 16

The fashion world may be looking ahead to spring, but Lucky Brand lets us hold on to winter for a little longer with this Taluca Lake cross-body bag.

The Taluca Lake brings a cold weather feel to Lucky Brand's bohemian vision. The plush faux fur finish is complemented by soft suede accents. The furry finish looks like it's come straight from the ski slopes, while the tassels and casually knotted strap take us right back to the 60s. There's something vaguely off putting about the greenish tinge to the fur, but at least the hue is different to the usual animal-colored offerings. Over-zealous PETA activists will never mistake this finish for the real thing!

The Taluca Lake is very small though, which limits its usage somewhat. During the day we usually want to carry more than it will hold, and it doesn't really look sophisticated enough for after five wear. It'll suit school runs and coffee catch-ups, but it'll never become your go-to bag.

While the quality is right for the Taluca Lake's $129 price tag I don't think it's practical enough to tempt most modern girls.
