All over textures can look overwhelming, but Giorgio Armani has got the balance just right with this Pleated Handbag.
The soft Nappa leather is carefully crafted into tiny, tight pleats. It might remind me a little of the sports skirts I used to wear in high school, but I think the effect looks much more chic here. I’m not so convinced by the handles though. In and of themselves these rope-like straps are lovely, but they make the pleated material bunch up awkwardly. Such smooth, chic pleats surely deserve a clean closure to match.
It’s not a very big bag, which might explain the lack of organizational features. I’m thankful for the small pocket which can take care of change, but find myself longing for more pouches to keep my keys and personal technology in order. It’s also a shame that there’s no interior lining, especially at this price point.
The range of colors is lovely, if not altogether groundbreaking. The subtle hues include ivory, dove gray, black, and this sexy military green. These shades might make it easy to incorporate this purse into any wardrobe, but its hefty $1600 price tag does not.
