This adorable Hayley Tulip Tote from Guess conjures up thoughts of 1950s diners and jukeboxes. Its bold retro styling isn’t the only thing that harks back to the past though. At just $110, the retail price also holds an old-fashioned appeal.
The cost is kept to a minimum thanks to the vinyl exterior. It’s less pricy than patent leather, but this fabric should have enough gloss to satisfy. The Guess logo at the front is a little flashy with its rhinestones, but it’s still small enough that it doesn’t feel too over the top. The gathered design gives the handbag a feminine fullness without making it too fussy.
It appears to have an open design at first glance, but Guess hasn’t forgotten about your security. Those high sides hide a zip top closure to keep all your goodies safe inside. One side wall features a roomy zippered pocket, while the other has a couple of slip pockets to carry your PDA and cell phone.
The Hayley Tulip Tote is available in three unique color combinations. The natural multi feels a little drab to me, but it might suit more conservative tastes. The black and gray combination is a little more classic, but this fuschia tote has won me over with its vibrant pink tones.
