Could this wallet really be a Lovcat creation? I had to look twice to believe it, as the Pinch Lock II looks like something I’d expect to see from Kathy Van Zeeland or Betsey Johnson.
But sure enough, the label has traded in its usual art deco sophistication to create this bold purse. The large gold pinch lock hardware doesn’t just give the wallet its name. It also dominates the design, acting as much more than a simple secure feature. Lovcat rarely puts it name up front, so it’s surprising to see not just a nameplate, but an ostentatious one. There’s no missing this crystal encrusted logo.
Surface impressions aside, this is a fairly practical purse. It won’t suit compulsive shoppers, but there are enough features to satisfy most girls. There’s space for four credit cards, two clear windows for ID, and a thicker slot for stashing a wad of bills.
The Pinch Lock II’s larger-than-life design won’t suit everybody, but there’s definitely a market for it. That’s especially true for wallets, which are tucked away in larger handbags for most of their lives. We might not want to carry bling around all day, but it’s nice to whip it out every now and then. But I wonder why the Pinch Lock II only comes in basic black. Surely a purse this daring deserves a hot pink version for girls who really want to show off!
