Diane Von Furstenberg is a household name. In fashionable households, you don’t even need to use the full name; the DVF abbreviation is more than enough. This striking Laragh bag is a good example of what helped Ms. Furstenberg attain that status, even if it is a little unusual within the larger spectrum of her aesthetic.
The canvas on the Laragh is used in an extraordinarily innovative way. This is something that I think we’ll be seeing a lot from designers who are trying to keep prices down by working with less expensive materials. Still, the canvas doesn’t come off as plain or boring in the least. It’s hard to resist the bold black and white striping.
The shape of the Laragh is innovative as well. It is simultaneously voluminous and geometric, an effect that is highlighted by the graphic print. The folded knot ties at the sides fold the bag into an interesting, avant garde shape, but the tan leather strap keeps it on the classic side. I love the way the gunmetal hardware melts right into the bag, and doesn’t take away from its dramatic flair.
For $185, the Laragh is a bonafide bargain. You almost never see a price like this on a designer bag, so you better get your credit card out ASAP if you want to get your hands on one!
