Funky snakeskin goes all mature in this clever shaded purse from J. Renee.
This tote is clearly aiming to be a smart and useful bag, more suitable for work than for fancy black tie dos or nights out clubbing. Whereas colored snakeskin once would have been gaudy and decidedly immature, J. Renee has decided to turn the concept on its head. By basing the textured pattern on high sheen formal leather, and choosing deep azure, silver and black as the theme, the label has kept a bold idea remarkably toned down. My only gripe is that I wish the leather was real, especially as it looks so convincing.
The shape too has clearly had some thought put into it. Whilst many bags featuring interesting patterns and colors opt for dull typical square tote shapes, this shoulder bag does something different. With a fat base great for holding bits and pieces, and then a tautened buckled top, it looks stylish. It is even easy to carry, with a decent length handle dressed up with contrasting buckles.
Snakeskin isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and with the bright unexpected silver snakeskin contrast I can understand some people not liking the Fever tote. If you do embrace its unusual look, however, then the shaded pattern and zipped interior will no doubt go down a treat.
