Azzadine Alaia is a favored designer of both celebrities and dignitaries alike, most notably first lady Michelle Obama. The designer, who disappeared into seclusion for most of the 90s, has been making a quiet comeback since he took a job with Prada in 2000. Now, his sleek, feminine staples like this bowling bag are being seen as the future of fashion.
The thing I like best about this bowling bag is that it barely resembles a bowling bag at all. The usually loudly colored and bulky style has been pared down considerably by Alaia. The reduced size and aerodynamic lines give this bag a smooth, streamlined look that is charming and sleek at the same time.
The exposed gunmetal zipper gives a slight bit of subtle contrast to the styling. It opens onto a generously-sized main compartment fully lined with blush leather, which looks stunning up against the black leather exterior. The quality craftsmanship shows through in every detail of this gorgeous bag.
The $3,045 price tag puts this bowling bag firmly in the investment bag range, but even for the quality the price seems a little high for a design that is pretty casual.
