I’ve never really warmed to the bold accessories from Ed Hardy, but this Morgan Messenger has inspired me to change my tune.
The Morgan is no shrinking violet, but its look seems a lot fresher than so many Ed Hardy bags. Orange is an under-utilized color in the fashion world, and it really gives this messenger a lift. The crinkled synthetic leather maintains Ed Hardy’s edgy aesthetics while adding a healthy dose of style. The strip of metallic tattoo-inspired graphics, bordered with matching golden studs, is another signature Ed Hardy touch. But on the orange and ivory bags it almost blends into the background. If you’d prefer the print was bolder, look to the deep brown bag; the gold print enjoys maximum contrast here.
While the Morgan’s look turns head, its practical design seals the deal. A flat platform base will keep the bag upright once it’s set down. There’s plenty of space inside, and zip and slip pockets to help us stay organized. One more zippered pocket on the back adds even more storage space.
Messengers are typically casual affairs, and while this seems a little more dressed up at its heart it’s really no different. So it’s surprising to see the price tag; for $218 I’d expect to see real leather here, not a cheap synthetic alternative.
