I have only recently begun to pay attention to Carlos Falchi’s designs, and I am totally blown away. He has an uncanny knack for understanding what modern women are looking for in a handbag. This ombre feed bag is a fabulous, low key everyday bag with an exotic appeal.
The ombre-dyed python skin on this feed bag is amazing. The color pattern changes gradually from pale tan to golden brown and then to a deep, rich umber. The tones are neutral enough to look natural, but just purposeful enough to add drama to the design. The bag is also available in olive tones, if you prefer an even more dramatic look.
The shape of this feed bag is perfectly slouchy. Frankly, I’m happy to see a slouchy bag that’s not a hobo. The shape of this one will lend itself well to boho chic or rock ‘n’ roll inspired styles. The asymmetrical whip-stitching is an edgy touch that mimics the diagonal pattern of the snakeskin panels and adds another layer of texture.
The details on the bag are subtle, but very successful. I am particularly taken with the strap on this feed bag. The graduated shape and seam reinforcements make it look very snakelike and authentic. The asymmetric flap front closure adds to the elegantly off-kilter design.
$2,195 isn’t a bad price for such an exotic and well-designed handbag, particularly one that’s casual enough to carry everyday, but striking enough to add a lot of kick to your wardrobe.
