I started out feeling excited about Gwen Stefani’s foray into the world of fashion, but sadly lately her L.A.M.B. line has failed to inspire me. While the mother of two continues to look fabulous when she steps out, bags like this Darlington simply seem ho-hum.
There’s a little of the attitude the No Doubt singer embodies, but it almost seems like edge by numbers. The static logo print is predictably moody and brooding, and the pair of large pyramid studs on the flap almost seems like an afterthought.
The design is sound though, with a long, wearable strap, durable trimmed pockets, and a hardy faille lining. But the execution seems cheap, far cheaper than we’d expect on a bag costing $175. While that’s not exorbitant, I’ve seen comparable purses at this price made from leather rather than synthetic, and with luxurious straps rather than this sporty woven one.
Again it seems to be a case of paying for the label rather than the bag behind it. If you’re a Gwen Stefani devotee you might see value here, but I’ll take my money elsewhere.
