Giorgio Armani has fun with fashion with this Embellished Tote from his Emporio Armani label.
The playful tabs which decorate this tote feel like a modern alternative to fringing. Each curved flap of leather is studded with a bold silver grommet, which brings a little edge to the feathery finish. The effect really livens up the fairly pedestrian brown material, and we miss it on the plain back. We’re used to this kind of corner cutting on cheaper bags, but I wouldn’t have expected it when we’re spending nearly $1000 on this tote.
I hoped Emporio Armani would make amends with some functional features, but there’s no such luck. The leather trimmed pocket is a nice start, but it’s the only practical perk of note. Emporio Armani hasn’t even offered a way to keep the bag closed!
This Embellished Tote turned my head, but on closer inspection it’s left me feeling a bit deflated. Armani had the potential to create a truly exciting tote bag here, but there’s little beyond its striking surface.
