I often gush about Alexander Wang’s accessories on BagBunch, but when the designer continues to churn out purses as stylish as this Angela Pouchette, what’s a girl to do?
Pouchettes are often buttoned up evening purses, but not the Angela. It has a cool, urban look which really sets it apart. The buttery black pebbled leather is quite frankly, gorgeous. It’s the sort of skin that just begs to be touched. Its neutral shade does need some extra pizzazz though, and this comes in the form of gleaming rose-gold hardware.
I really like the asymmetrical placement of the zip, and the raised studs on the short strap. The same studs we saw on the Coco’s base are repeated here. I loved the way these accents combined form and function then, and my opinion hasn’t changed since they were first trotted out. What a way to finish off an irresistible purse.
So I could quibble about the side opening, which while super stylish isn’t as practical as a more conventional configuration. I could bemoan the wrist strap, which while cute isn’t likely to be as convenient as a longer strap. But Alexander Wang’s sweetened all those niggles with devastating style. At $650 the Angela is no bargain, but it’s also competitively priced for a designer purse.
