I’ve been enamored lately with Maddalena Marconi’s eye-catching evening purses, but they’ve missed the mark here. Fringed bags might be big this season, but they should never look like this.
All the right ingredients are there. This purse should have glammed up the popular boho-chic trend. But quite frankly, this looks like Cousin It from The Addams Family wearing a tiara.
I can’t fault any one element. The hand-beaded light gold fringe should have been stunning. I can’t think of a better complement than the canary yellow and white Swarovski crystals adorning the vintage frame.
Sure it’s on the small size, but that’s almost a given for evening bags. The sexy satin lining makes the small stature easier to forgive. It’s finished with brocade edging for an extra bit of luxury.
The parts are perfect, but the combination falls short. It might be a conversation starter, but I can think of better ways to spend $1379.
