Kara Ross serves up a clutch that will look just as sleek during the day as it will at night with this Mia purse.
The sleek eelskin body and classic design are the keys to the Mia’s versatility. Strips of the exotic skin create subtle vertical lines on this simply shaped purse. The unusually cut corners and strip of matching stingray make the front flap really interesting. Kara Ross pushes things just far enough, ensuring the Mia is appealing but not overwhelming.
The Mia is very slender, and there’s not a lot of give in the exotic body, so we’re limited to only carrying the essentials. The suede lining makes the interior feel a bit more luxurious, but I’d prefer practicality to flash. A few extra inches and a shoulder strap would have made all the differences.
We expect to pay a pretty penny for exotic materials, but the Mia is still too expensive at $775. Eelskin is actually one of the cheapest animal skins around, and I don’t think Kara Ross has done enough with it to justify the extra dollars.
