Fendi glams up its famous signature print with this gold Borsa Zia Forever bag.
The iconic pattern is rendered on genuine calfskin which has been laminated for a little extra shine. Some might argue that gold leather already has enough gloss, but this isn’t a purse that does things by halves. It’s not the brassiest gold I’ve seen, and the silvery interlocking letters make it all look a little less ostentatious than it might. But it’s still no shrinking violet.
The “look at me” attitude continues with a gold-tone Fendi clasp and a matching chunky chain. One wonders why the leather sides weren’t extended to cushion our shoulders, but I suppose this isn’t a purse that worries too much about practical perks.
That assumption is confirmed when you peek inside. The luxury is taken care of with the soft suede lining, but it skimps on space and organizational features. Not that a purse so slender needs a lot of pockets!
Its petite stature makes the Borsa Zia Forever the kind of bag you might flash around at night, but pass over for a more practical purse during the day. It’s got its flaws, but Fendi fans will be tempted to overlook them.
