Lulu Guinness offers up her iconic lip print with more subtlety than usual with this cute Emily purse.
You have to look closely to see the lips at all, but that’s part of this cross-body bag’s appeal. Rather than jarring blood red pouts Guinness has opted for elegant quilting. The lip shaped stitching is much more interesting than the tired old diamonds we typically see. You didn’t expect Lulu Guinness to go completely straight, did you?
The Emily’s simple shape is matched with a simple interior. That’s not a bad thing, because such a small purse doesn’t need overcomplicating. And so we see a single zippered pocket, which is just enough to separate small valuables from the rest of your cargo.
I love the Emily’s color, a deep red so rich that it’s almost black. I’m sure many would mistake it for the monochromatic hue from a distance, but that’s actually a blessing. It helps us wear the Emily with anything so we really see value for our dollar. After all, at £225.00 it’s not cheap for a bag so small!
