When is an Ed Hardy bag not an Ed Hardy bag? When it’s the Hattie Demi Satchel!
Seriously this bag is very different to anything we’ve seen from the Ed Hardy stable. Gone are the colorful tattoo style graphics and the loud looping Ed Hardy signature. In its place we have an oversized bow accent and a subtle logo plate. The feminine pleated satin is complemented by glossy black synthetic. This trim looks a little cheap, but I never expect a high class veneer from Ed Hardy. Something tells me this is as close to it as we’ll ever see.
If this design seems a bit staid for your tastes, the Hattie is also available in tan and gray leopard prints. I can’t imagine carrying anything as daring as this animal spotted purse, but I appreciate that Ed Hardy has tried to cater for conservative fashionistas and divas here.
The retro shape is complemented by the playful leopard lined interior. This is a smart space, well sized and with zip and slip pockets reinforced with more of that shiny black synthetic. A sunken zip across the top finishes the Hattie with style, offering security without compromising Ed Hardy’s design vision.
This Hattie satchel isn’t a perfect bag, but it definitely shows Ed Hardy stepping in the right direction. Although the designer’s faithful fans may not agree!
