The elegant styling of this Ivah shopper from Donald J Pliner has really turned my head.
The look is classic, with soft, sexy curves and clean lines. The colors too are traditional, dark and versatile options like black and expresso brown. Some might feel that’s not exciting enough, but I think the hues works well with the subtle crocodile embossing. Exotic textures have a way of looking gaudy on brightly colored bags, instead of the sophisticated look it has here.
Long, thin tassels run from the top of the bag. Tiny golden charms are attached to the leather threads; a peace sign, a pepper, and a sexy heeled boot amongst them. By keeping the charms so small, they add character without dominating the design. I rarely enjoy metal charms hanging from purses, but I’m willing to make an exception here.
A shopper’s charm should never be simply surface, so Donald J Pliner gives us more practical value inside. The generous space is a given. This is the sort of bag ready to handle a spending spree at the mall, or a busy day of running errands. The zippered pocket which separates the Ivah’s interior makes this generous space easier to manage. There are smaller pockets on the side walls to handle small valuables, and a handy fob for your keys.
This is one fashion label that always knows when enough is enough. By adding only a couple of accents to a classic bag, Donald J Pliner creates an eye-catching piece you can happily carry for years to come.
