When I spotted this Coloriffics handbag, I was sure the brand had raided my childhood closet. I am certain I had a bag just like this when I was around the age of seven. I know that many styles of the 80s are making a comeback, but I’m not sure this is one of them.
The pyramid shaped stones which cover this bag’s front flap add some real drama, but they also feel a bit like someone’s gone crazy with the Bedazzler. There’s nothing inspired about their application; as a kid I would have loved them but as a woman I’m a bit more cynical.
This handbag’s cause isn’t helped by that silvery synthetic strap. While it’s likely to be more comfortable than a chain strap, a linked metal alternative might have made this purse appear classier.
The interior is small but serviceable. Its open pouch, complementary lining, and magnetic snap closure are all just as I expected. That’s not a criticism, but it’s also nothing to applaud either.
If your Little Miss got their hands on this purse, they’d probably love it. But at $40, it’s more than I’d spend on a child’s accessory. If it hoped to corner the adult market, I think Coloriffics missed the mark.
