Emilie Sloane goes pretty in pink with this Diane Cross-Body Bag.
This purse is perfectly pleasant, with a sugary pink base and cute floral print. The lime green trim and strap are an adorable complement to the Diane’s feminine finish. It looks pretty, but something tells me it might be a bit too cutesy for full grown fashionistas.
The Diane isn’t very luxurious, but Emilie Sloan has carefully chosen its materials. Its cotton body is coated with a plastic veneer to resist water and stain damage. The fabric is also really lightweight, although a purse so small will never weigh us down.
I find carrying a small purse liberating. You feel lighter as you step out, unencumbered by possessions you don’t need. But all the space in a small purse needs to be usable. Emilie Sloan’s divided the Diane’s interior into too many sections, and all those compartments are too small to carry anything of substance. A purse should be able to hold a regular wallet at the very least.
At $64 the Diane is affordable, but I’m still not buying it. This bag just isn’t beautiful enough to get away with being impractical.
