Thanks to the seventies inspiration that flounced and strutted its stuff down the catwalks recently, we are seeing a lot of handbags with a little hint of a 70s fashion vibe. Whilst the temptation is to go for garish colors and psychedelic floral patterns, the clever designers (like Lodis) have opted for something a bit smarter.
It has kept with the palette of browns and greens, but the size of the pattern has been modernized, made far smaller and subtler so that it can work without the walnut furniture, cigarettes and whiskey (me, paraphrase Mad Men? Surely not). As you can see, the result is a complex and sophisticated bag that hints to a retro vibe without being too explicit. If you want Orla Kiely lookalikes that is fine, but sometimes you need a bag that is, dare I say it, a little more boring and normal. When you look closely you realize the depth of detail in the printed leather, but from a distance the pattern seems to blend together. It is almost like two bags in one!
The inside of this bag does away with the seventies inspiration altogether, preferring instead to have a calm solid color fabric lining and plenty of pockets. With bold linings being all the rage this is a bit of a break from the norm, and is what keeps the Belize Logan sophisticated and mature. It is a sensible choice with fun lying beneath the surface.
