In a world of fashion followers, the designers that love to walk alone really stand out. Ananas is one of those intriguing brands that refuses to bow to trends. And with bags like the Shauna shoulder bag, it shows us the beauty that comes from original design.
Ananas knows that a material like this lush lambskin needs few embellishments. It’s so compelling all on its own, especially in that intriguing green-yellow shade known as citrus. I suppose some conservative fashionistas might long for a more neutral hue, but I think it could be just what we need to liven up our outfits.
The only embellishments are the wooden tab closure, buckle strap, and handle studs. The smooth, brown wood is a surprisingly lovely complement to the vivid leather. I also appreciate the size of the tab closure. We saw a much larger one on the Ewa waist pack which dominated the design. Here everything is in harmony.
But of course we can’t sell a bag on surface alone. The interior clinches things for me, with its generous dimensions and durable leather trimmed pockets. The printed plain weave lining is also darling; that probably won’t sway you but it is a nice touch.
At $530 this is one of Ananas’ most expensive bags, but considering its generous dimensions it deserves to be.
