Emilio Pucci takes us back to the swinging sixties with this bold Rio Piazzato Bowler Bag.
We know the designer’s creations are never shy, retiring types, but I’ve never seen a Pucci purse with quite this much retro flair. Its saturated citrus, hot pink, and pale teal hues explode over the surface of this bowler bag. The teardrops remind me a bit of a paisley print, but that classic pattern has been reinterpreted in the way only Pucci can.
On a different purse, or even one created by a lesser designer, the wild psychedelic print may have fallen flat. But Pucci gets it right here. This is a simple bowler, so it benefits from such an eye-catching print. It’s a petite purse too, so all that color doesn’t seem like overkill.
If it were more expensive I’d hesitate to invest in the Rio Piazzato. It has such a distinct look, so it’ll never become anyone’s everyday bag, and it’s too small to function as one anyway. But for $795 this bowler is a fun way to inject some individuality into your wardrobe.
