Charles L Thomas walks on the wild side with this retro styled Raquel bag.
After seeing shrinking violets like the label’s Melanie and Kathy bags, I was surprised by the vampish nature of this purse. The black haircalf center panel in combination with the cheetah spotted hair calf sides is so bold and seductive. So is the retro shape with its sexy curves. That old-fashioned approach might seem a bit kitschy to some, but I embrace the vintage spirit in which this purse was created.
The exterior is impressive, but it’s matched by the gorgeous interior. The rich gold satin lining sets the scene, but it’s those extra touches like the sunken zip top closure, leather trimmed pockets, and a key ring strap which make a lasting impact.
My only criticism is that the handles seem a little long for the bag. That makes carrying easy, but it also makes the Raquel seem a bit out of proportion. Still, if that’s the worst thing you can say about a bag it’s not a bad thing. At $279, even the Raquel’s price is right.
