RG House of Florence treads the fine line between cute and kitsch with this Brown Elephant Collection Cosmetic Case.
Animal lovers are sure to flip over the elephant face, with its trunk extended to meet the zipper. The trunk motif is seen again in the long golden zipper pull. Raised elephant trunks are supposed to be lucky, so I wonder whether two will bring twice the good fortune!
The elephant feature is a little flamboyant, but the subtle fabrics help to tone things down. The durable beige canvas is accented with tan boar leather trim. A wide strip of the boar leather also runs along the flat base for added stability.
The flat platform is such a practical touch. You can sit this purse down and forget it as you attend to those all important make-up emergencies. This cosmetics case is spacious too, so it should accommodate your complete arsenal of girly goodies.
It’s got high-quality fabrics, quirky style, and a practical design, but $284 seems a little steep to me. After all, this is a purse that will spend most of its life tucked in a tote or suitcase. Elephant enthusiasts may still be tempted, but that price is prohibitive for me!
