Isaac Mizrahi shows off more of his signature quirk with this unusual medium leather bag.
Its name might not be too exciting, but its design is inspired. At its heart it’s like so many other brown leather bags, but the devil’s in its unusual details. The straps are what initially struck me. Their asymmetrical design reminds me of something Picasso might have painted, with its combination of traditional leather and chain portion. The ponyskin panels on the sides are also striking, providing an interesting balance to the leather.
The interior makes us feel spoiled with its high quality lining and leather trimmed pockets. It’s those little extras the big designers offer that help them command the big bucks. Having said that though, this is one of Isaac Mizrahi’s more affordable accessories. At $580, it is likely to appeal to girls who always felt an Isaac Mizrahi original was out of reach.
There’s a lot to admire about this Isaac Mizrahi creation but it still hasn’t won me over. It reminds me of the duffels old men take on vacation, although it’s a very modern take on that design. Even with that quirk factor it feels like something my father would carry rather than me.
