This Verbella tote from Bally is just the thing for adding a dose of vintage sass to your wardrobe.
The front features a retro Bernard Villemot illustration of two sexy girls with knowing smiles and longer than long legs! It’s reminiscent of the kind of art we’d expect to see in pre-war Parisian ads: saucy and oh so chic. The purple fabric contrasts with polished black patent belts, straps, and trim. If you prefer a more unified look, you can pick up the Verbella in classic black.
But a tote is about more than just good looks. Bally delivers some of the practical touches we’ve come to expect, from the hard-wearing jacquard lining to all that luxurious space. I only wish the brand had considered security. There’s no closure, and not even a zippered pocket to hide away valuables. I’m also not sure about those straps. The patent leather is attractive, but they’re just so short and skinny. I’m not sure whether they’d ever snap, but they are bound to dig into your palms when the tote’s loaded up.
You may not use it for carrying the crown jewels, or want to carry it all day, but the Bally Verbella is a quirky solution for toting your everyday items.
