Sometimes less is more. Other times, however, more is definitely … well … more!
This handbag is quite an attention seeker; trimmed in bling-like glass gems and Swarovski crystals, it stands out from the crowd in a glittering, dazzling way. In the same vein, it doesn’t even try to be practical. This is a bag that lives only to be clutched in your powdered palm by your manicured fingers, and paraded down red carpets. The idea that you may need to fit more than your diamond encrusted mini-cell phone and some business cards in it doubtless never crossed the designer’s mind.
And so it shouldn’t have! If you want space and practicality, I advise you see some of the other reviews on this blog. There are plenty of totes and hold-alls that will do the job. If, however, you want bright colorful sparkles and the most trendy of clutch shapes, then this little fella is more your thing.
I do feel it’s a shame that this bag doesn’t come with a crystal studded chain or silver strap. It exists only as a clutch, and cannot be converted to any other handbag style. Of course, you only have to carry it the length of the dancefloor, and it’s not going to be heavy. Just make sure security is heavy where you are, as this isn’t the sort of bag you can leave on the table whilst you have a quick boogie.
The verdict? This isn’t subtle. In fact, it isn’t a lot of things. What it is it is very good at. It sets out with one glorious dramatic aim, and achieves it well. Just don’t choose it if you want to smuggle in a hip flask, or transport heavy goods!
