We can always rely on Etienne Aigner for classic handbags, but its traditional sensibilities can get a little boring. So I was thrilled to come across this Vintage Cut Out Handle Purse, an accessory which adds a little spice to the brand’s time-honored appeal.
The head-turning style comes from the large cut-out handle and the delicate golden Etienne Aigner logo, the perfect foil for Etienne Aigner’s signature brown leather. The design is clean and sophisticated, harkening back to the days of polished Hollywood starlets like Rita Hayworth and Lauren Bacall. Can’t you just imagine one of those bygone beauties carrying this handbag as she shopped on Rodeo Drive? It’s not red carpet ready, but it’s definitely got star quality.
The authentic vintage style is lovely on an aesthetic level, but it does pose its practical problems. These days modern girls are used to carrying all manner of technology and the kitchen sink, but this bag isn’t big enough to accommodate that. It should hold everything you really need though, and you might just feel liberated for traveling lighter.
You could find something cheaper at a thrift store, but at $88 this Etienne Aigner purse is an affordable way to add vintage style to your contemporary wardrobe.
