Few things get me in the mood for spring like flowers and bright, white handbags. Combine the two as Big Buddha has with the Arlene and it must be a recipe for seasonal success!
We’ve seen many designers play with structured flowers like this, but it’s rare to see a mainstream label create blooms as lovely as these ones. Valentino himself would be proud of these perfectly layered petals and leaves! Of course, he’d charge us much more than $90 for them.
It’s not unexpected that Big Buddha had to cut corners to deliver a bag so beautiful for under the magic $100 mark. This is synthetic, and by some accounts not a high quality one at that. Customers have reported the colors flaking off before long, so don’t be surprised if you only get a season or two from it.
While it lasts though the Arlene will be a lovely spring companion, adding some femininity to a favorite jeans and T-shirt ensemble and serving as a perfect partner to a flowing dress. White is a color that scares many bagistas as it shows stains so easily, but it’s just one of ten available shades. Which is your favorite Arlene?
