It is nice to see Foley + Corinna move away from its signature handles into something a little braver. The gorgeous gold mesh body of this wrapped tote really lets the label stand out from the crowd.
Glitz and glamor isn’t normally the territory of this luxury brand. It tends to be more about investment pieces than flashy handbags. However, I think it does well treading the line between gorgeous rich gold, and tacky gold, hitting the mark thanks to the association with that supple luxurious leather. Also, the sheer expanse of chain-link means that, believe it or not, it looks classier. After all, it is so rare to get something like this liberally swathed over a bag, and the effect is one of easy glamor.
In addition to the cool metal, we have the twisted leather straps. Despite putting me in mind of a whip (especially with those tassels!), this is the sort of detail that will help people justify the $325 price tag.
All in all this golden cross-body is a glittery creation perfect for winter, and oozing with evening sparkle.
