Alexander Wang’s new bags have hit shelves this week, and I am totally freaking out about it. Yes, I am a bit of a fan, but even if you aren’t, you might find yourself drawn in by his sophisticated, cutting edge aesthetic. This Lia messenger is a gorgeous low key accompaniment to Wang’s line of iconic accessories.
The textured black leather on the Lia has been weathered without fading the color out or detracting from its laid back cool. The rose gold hardware is unique and minimal. I really haven’t seen rose gold used that much in accessories, so it really stands out, and I hope to see more of it. I especially like the round grommets on the strap attachment.
The shape of the Lia is great, and I’m not really a fan of messengers. I like this one because its been rounded off at the corners and pared down a bit. This style isn’t as clunky or bulky as your usual messenger. The studs at the bottom are what really take the Lia over the edge. Their lopped-off conic shape and texture make them an interesting, but subtle, detail.
If you have $780 for a new toy, the Lia is a fantastic way to go. You won’t regret it now, or years from now, when it’s a total collector’s item.
