There’s no need to look at your watch. Betsey Johnson is quick to tell us that it’s Cheetah Time!
I’m not sure whether I share Betsey’s enthusiasm, but I certainly can’t ignore her barrel bag. That hot pink color is practically iridescent, and the aqua blue highlights really make those black cheetah spots pop. The combination is probably too much for all but the most devoted Betsey Johnson fan, but this isn’t a label known for its subtlety.
That reputation is upheld in the long shoulder straps. The woven chains seem like a homage to Chanel, but they’re much chunkier than anything the esteemed fashion house would ever have produced. And if we weren’t already feeling the assault on our senses, there’s Betseyville’s familiar lightning bolt keychain!
But strip away all that sass and you’ve got a decent handbag here. It’s not incredibly large, but it is much wider than the average purse. That allows us to make much better use of the space on offer, as does the selection of interior pockets.
Yes it’s a bit of a novelty, but at a mere $88 the Cheetah Time doesn’t have to take itself too seriously.
