Comme des Garcons serves up a fun take on classic polka dots with this embossed purse.
Designers have been embossing leather for ages, adding texture and mimicking exotic skins. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone decided to stamp spots into the cowhide! And if anyone was going to do it, it makes sense that it was Comme des Garcons’ playful creative director Rei Kawakubo.
I love the combination of embossed polka dots and quirky purple leather, but I’m smart enough to realize that there’s little behind it. This really is the simplest of pouches, without pockets or straps or any of those modern conveniences we almost take for granted. I’d assume it was meant to be a coin pouch if it were a little smaller. However those extra few inches would help it work as a cute clutch.
I really wish this pouch wasn’t so sweet. If it were a little less endearing, I’d never consider spending $190 on it. It’s just too simple to justify that sort of outlay. But I’m finding the combination of purple and polka dots difficult to resist!
