Guess takes an uncharacteristically classic approach to design with this Socialite doctor bag.
Frankly this purse is a lot more subdued than the socialites that make headlines these days. The snakeskin embossed trim hints at the riches of these page six princesses, but it’s really quite subtle for a Guess design. Hardware is kept to a minimum, and rather than the usual logo we see just a discreet letter G. And personally I think the Socialite’s a better bag for it. The label’s fans may long for some of its usual fanfare, but I appreciate the gentle contrast of exotic, patent, and matte black synthetics.
Real socialites generally have an entourage to carry their odds and ends, but Guess knows most of us aren’t so lucky. And so it’s made the Socialite spacious and packed it with features, including card slots and internal and external pockets. It is narrow though, so while there’s room for everything you need it’ll require careful packing. From a functional standpoint the handle could stand to be longer, but it really suits the Socialite’s somewhat squat dimensions. Sometimes we have to sacrifice practicality for good looks!
Happily you won’t need the bank balance of a Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian to own this Socialite. It’s priced quite affordably at $128.
