Evans takes its cues from Lanvin with this ladylike Ribbon Chain Bag.
The structured flap over design and navy grosgrain ribbon accents certainly call to mind the famed French fashion house. The contrast of the navy ribbon against the white purse is striking, and the threading of this ribbon through the chain strap elegant. If you’re on a budget, you could certainly do worse than this £16 purse.
But designer snobs will sneer at the compromises made to keep this price down. Evans has used PVC rather than real leather of course, a necessary sacrifice for the budget brand. The stitching also isn’t quite as delicate as it should be, and the bow doesn’t sit quite right.
This purse’s dimensions are just right for channeling the Mad Men vintage vibe, but modern girls may find them a little small. This is a slight and slender purse, so it’ll require careful packing to make it hold all your essentials.
But for what it is Evans has done a great job. This is a pretty purse that doesn’t appear as cheap as it actually is!
