For some time now I’ve been coveting the oh-so-cute purses from Kensie Girl. But every fashion house has a bad day, and it seems Kensie Girl had its when it created the Bow It Up cross-body.
I really like what Kensie Girl was going for here. The discreet metal bow is a lovely way to add femininity without too much flamboyance. But it’s what’s around it that really lets the Bow It Up down. The leatherette’s finish seems like it was intended to appear weathered, but it doesn’t quite come off. In fact the treatment only emphasizes the material’s poor quality. We don’t expect real luxury for $68, but we probably want a finish that seems more sophisticated than this.
At least Kensie Girl hasn’t let us down when it comes to the important things. The mid-sized interior has a trio of pockets to make staying organized that much easier. And if we’re still searching for space, there’s a slip pocket on the back. I also appreciate the selection of carry straps.
But at the end of the day, all the functional features in the world can’t convince me to carry a purse that looks so cheap. We’ve seen Kensie Girl do a lot better than this.
