I’ve often seen novelty handbags and wondered who would ever carry them. On spotting British supermodel Agyness Deyn carrying a triceratops bag from Giles Deacon at his after party on Monday night, I guess I have my answer.
Perhaps you need to have supermodel good looks and confidence to pull off such a kitschy accessory. I’m not sure, but there’s no denying that the white leather dinosaur dangling from her shoulder looks great with her large retro T-shirt and black motorcycle jacket. I’m sure I could never work this look, but Agyness doesn’t seem to have even a hint of self consciousness as she smiles for the camera.
It seems Deacon has sold at least two of the unusual triceratops bags, as fashion editor Katie Grand was carrying a bright metallic colored one earlier this year.
So tell me, do you need to already have some serious fashion cred, or is there a way to for any of us to work such a playful purse?
