Who says a trip to the grocery store can’t be glamorous? Betsey Johnson hopes to inject some Hollywood style into your weekly supermarket run with this Eye Spye Medium Shopper.
We might only see her facial features, but the cheeky image printed on this nylon shopper is unmistakably Marilyn Monroe. Her playful wink is rendered in black while her pouting lips are, of course, bright red. The minimalist design works well; I’m so used to seeing Betsey Johnson over-embellishing her purses, and I appreciate the restraint shown here.
I can’t help wishing for a few more features inside though. While a shopper never needs too many compartments, a pocket or two to hold our keys and cell phone wouldn’t have gone astray, particularly for the money Betsey’s charging. I’m more enthusiastic about the practical PVC lining, which while not luxurious will be easy to clean should our milk or meat trays leak.
At $98, the Eye Spye is pretty pricey for a bag made for carrying bread and eggs. However it’s not the most expensive shopper I’ve seen by a long shot and it is one of the most retrolicious!
