Bulgari pulls out all the stops with this extravagant beaded pochette purse.
There’s really nothing subtle about this little number, from the bronze satin base to all its decorations. And there are plenty of those: crystals, gold plated beads, and turquoise and coral paste pearls. As if that wasn’t enough, Bulgari has added a gold plated blue enamel clasp. I’m really not sure we needed all of those decorations, but at least every one is of superior quality.
But high quality materials are the least I expect for the money Bulgari’s charging. I never expect low, low prices from this Italian fashion house, but I still choked when I saw this purse’s $6750 price tag. That’s a whole chunk of change to spend on a purse that’s likely to only enjoy after five outfits. You’ll need a very full social calendar to justify picking this high-priced purse up.
Not to mention a lot of patience. There’s no shoulder strap, so we’re left clutching this pochette the old fashioned way. I wouldn’t mind that on a cheaper purse, but when I’m spending several thousand I expect a bag to work for me, not the other way around. There’s also just one fairly useless open pocket inside. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
I’m sure luxury addicts aren’t fazed by this Bulgari bag’s limitations, but personally I think I’ll stick with Mary Frances if I want over-decorated clutches.
