Beirn offers two bags for the price of one with this stylish Grace tote.
This handbag is so striking, with its regal purple hue and mottled stripes. In fact, I was surprised to read it’s made not from the snakeskin that Beirn typically uses, but an embossed leather. Fashion snobs may see this as a step down, but when the finish looks this good I think it’s unfair to be critical.
Using scaly leather rather than real snake allows Beirn to make this bag bigger than its usual totes. I appreciate all the extra storage space, but I wish there was more than the long zippered pocket inside to help us stay organized.
There is a matching wristlet though that we can always stash away when we need more assistance. But personally I think I’d get more use from this striking small bag as an evening clutch.
The straps are also really thin, especially for a tote of this size. Since they’re made from leather I expect they’ll hold up, but they will dig into your skin if the Grace is filled to the brim.
In the fashion world $515 is reasonable for such a stylish tote made from high quality materials. However the addition of the wristlet makes the Grace an even more alluring proposition. Is it tempting you?
