As a label, Louboutin usually goes for feminine and sophisticated, or sleek and elegant, but this purse is downright girly. This Mount Street bepetaled purse in high-voltage hot pink is just in time for spring and the fashion world’s obsession with florals.
With just a glance you can see that this bag will not be for everyone, not even for all the die hard Christian Louboutin obsessives out there. It’s too quirky and frou-frou to be on everyone’s hit list, but I have a feeling that it is going to make a big splash with many, nonetheless.
Personally, I think the pink petal-covered pouch is refreshing. The shape is soft and the simplicity of the metal bean chain makes it look delicate. The Louboutin trademark shoe clasp is an irreverent touch that walks the fine line between elegant and over-the-top.
There is nothing practical about this bag. That’s just not the point of it. It is a fun piece that will coordinate well with a sleek LBD or this seasons floral dresses. I can see a lot of women using it as a statement piece, except that the price of $1,495 is a little off-putting. Honestly, I also think it’s a little overpriced, even for such an established designer, being that is neither practical nor sturdy, nor could you use it on many occasions. Unless you’re going through an extended SJP phase and quirky is the name of your game.
