The silly season may be over, but silly fashions persist. If you’re still in the mood for something fun and frivolous, look no further than the Aumoniere Evening Bag from Lanvin.
This frothy concoction is a real departure for the brand who brought us such sensible day bags as the Jeanne and Jaismal. But if you can’t have fun after five, when can you? I can imagine the likes of Lady Gaga or Katy Perry carrying the Aumoniere to the Grammys!
It’s certainly different. Pom poms are usually restricted to cutesy winter accessories, but here they’re given a glam makeover with silk taffeta. The combination of electric blue, white, and black is particularly striking. The grosgrain ribbon drawstring looks a little cheap against the taffeta though. A hidden magnetic clasp would have improved the purse’s appearance, and made it a lot less fiddly.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that this isn’t the world’s most practical purse. It’s a decent size, but the single slip pocket really does little to keep your party essentials organized. I suggest slipping a little coin purse inside to make this space more practical.
I know plenty of people are going to hate this purse, but there’s something about it that I can’t resist. One thing’s for sure; it’s definitely not boring!
