Radley serves up practicality in a pretty pink package with this Wigmore shoulder bag.
I know, I know, this bag is very pink. This particular hue is so sugary that you might get a toothache if you stare at it for too long. It’s definitely for the girliest of girly girls. But personally I think it’s the pick of the bunch. The black and ivory shades are so predictable, although they’re probably a bit easier to work into a wardrobe.
Colors aside, the devil’s in the very impressive details here. Rather than traditional piping, Radley has mixed things up a bit with pretty plaited reinforcement. The drawstring top helps emphasize the quality of the soft leather, and the golden Scottie dog plate is a whimsical way for Radley to make its mark.
I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of the drawstring on a practical level though. It’ll be fiddly to use, and I’m not sure that inconvenience is worth the look. Radley does give us a zippered pocket underneath, which makes up for the drawstring’s security shortcomings. Personally I’d prefer this was the lone closure. The strap is also a bit skinny for my liking, as it’ll pull at your shoulder once the Wigmore is full.
But these are minor niggles in what is otherwise a very stylish and smart shoulder purse.
