Ooooh. Ooooooooh. I’m sorry; when presented with an item of such beauty as the Mairie tote, how am I meant to write anything coherent?
I’m a cynic normally. I like to pick flaws, to complain, to look first at the negatives of a handbag, and then at the positives. However, this is one of those rare bags that causes extensive waxing lyrical, and for that I apologize.
What I don’t apologize for, however, is my assertion that this patent tote is wonderful. Utterly classic, utterly classy, and utterly wonderful. What makes it so? Well, the high gloss of that patent leather, to start with, with the delicately crafted folds and ripples emphasizing its shine. Then the shape, clearly formal yet at the same time with enough fashion oomph to make it stand out in a sea of black tote bags.
Of course, a lot of it has to do with the name. Bally is such a leather connoisseur that it never disappoints, but even so, the Mairie seems a cut above the rest. Even the interior sings of practical expertise, with just the right number of pockets. In essence, this tote allows its owner to be sensible and fabulous all at the same time.
It may be yet another black tote, but it seems that this patent purse may have slain my heart.
