Felix Rey lays its heart on its purse with this romantic I Heart You Pochette.
The designer often crosses the line between whimsical and novelty, and I think he may have done it again here. The concept is sound, but the execution is just a bit obvious. I love the kookiness of the spotted brass metal mesh body, but it’s overshadowed by that larger than life heart. Its size dwarfs the pochette, and the black crystals are just a further attempt to dominate the design. I just wish Felix Rey had reined things in a little, because this purse had real potential.
That large heart will make clutching this pochette awkward, so it’s disappointing that there’s no shoulder strap or wrist loop to help us out. While we’re talking limitations it’s also worth noting that this purse is very small. I’m not even sure my evening essentials could fit inside it, so I hope you know how to travel light.
Considering its size and practical constraints, I think Felix Rey has a hide charging $140 for this pochette. Sorry Felix Rey; I’m just not feeling the love.
