I’ve never been one of Guess’ biggest fans, but against my better judgment there’s something about the Avignon that’s caught my eye.
I really shouldn’t like it, as it goes against so many of my handbag mantras. Its logo is so large that it’s almost obnoxious. Its trim is made from vinyl rather than leather, and not a particularly high quality one at that. Yet by keeping things muted, Guess has won me over. I really like the look of the delicate herringbone print fabric, and the cute box shape is another winner.
It is on the small side, but personally I think that works to our advantage. It makes the logo covered purse seem a bit less ostentatious, and the box shape a little more adorable. I can’t fault it on a functional level either. The interior isn’t large but it’s got enough space for everything you really need. And with an array of interior pockets, staying organized shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.
Not all Avignons are created equally though. While this black bag is refined, the alternative with its brown body and pink trim is hideous. You’ll find both versions for a reasonable $98.
