Luba J looks to inject a bit of edgy style into our evening wardrobes with this Lola evening bag.
She’s not quite a showgirl, but this is a purse that demands to be gazed at. Purple is always a head-turning shade, but the crackled finish on this leather makes this skin really pop. It’s then been quilted for a further layer of style. I appreciate that Luba J has used a boxy stitch rather than the more traditional diamond quilting; it just gives the Lola that extra special something. Just as it did on Luba J’s Chloe tote, a collection of small metal plates set inside the boxes adds a hint of attitude.
I love the way these plates work with the chunky metal chain. This strap looks so stylish, and with a leather pad in the center we don’t even have to fear for our shoulders. How thrilling to enjoy the best of both worlds!
The Lola’s slim profile is stylish, but it does limit what we can carry inside. That’s nothing new for an evening bag, but it’s still disappointing for anyone who struggles to travel light. At least the zippered pocket adds a bit of functionality to this slender space.
The $504 price tag is downright exorbitant for an evening bag, but if you can work it into your daytime wardrobe you might just see value for your dollar.
