The modern good looks of this Giorgio Armani pochette make it a real statement piece. But like so many head-turning purses, it’s strictly for special occasions.
I was instantly drawn to the quilted suede finish, with its striking wicker pattern. The ivory shade is a more practical choice than pristine white, and one which will serve it well for years to come.
The chrome handles are one of the bag’s strengths, and my main bugbear. These metallic arcs look so dramatic, but can you imagine carrying them? For maximum comfort I’d fold them down and carry the pochette in my palm. It’s likely to get tiresome at the end of a long night, but at least your hand won’t hurt!
The slim design doesn’t afford a lot of storage space, but at least it’s well organized. Pop open the magnetic snap to reveal two large zippered compartments, one on each side of the clutch.
At $595 retail, this Giorgio Armani purse isn’t exactly exorbitant. But its flaws mean I’d still think twice before laying my money down.
