Fold-over bags are prized by bagistas who can’t settle for just one look. Carry it by the cutout handles and you’ve got a conventional tote. Fold the top over and voila: it’s a clutch. Now Emilio Pucci gives us his colorful take on the convertible trend.
As with so many Emilio Pucci signature prints, this bold look isn’t for everybody. There are many color combinations to choose from, but if your tastes are tame you probably won’t find one to suit. But if you can embrace these vivacious designs, they’re guaranteed to add color to any neutral ensemble. Just don’t carry them with a bold outfit unless you want to look like a clown!
The tote is made from Emilio Pucci’s signature fabric, which is dressed up with black leather cutout handles. The handles have a striking mod look, but I’m not sure I’d want to carry them very far. Straps are always so much more comfortable than these solid structures, so don’t say I didn’t warn you!
The interior has space to spare, but sadly it doesn’t have the organization features it needs to back up the roomy design. The zippered pocket has to work double time holding the essentials you don’t want to find at the bottom of your bag.
It may not be as chic as the Anne Klein Empire clutch, but if you’re looking for a fold-over with personality over poise it’s hard to ignore this Emilio Pucci tote.
