Lux de Ville offers its take on the nautical trend with this High Seas bag.
The biggest problem for me is that it doesn’t feel that the brand’s tried very hard. The only things that give this bag a maritime feel are its sea blue finish and anchor charms. They’re token gestures which come off as a paltry attempt to fit in with current fashion.
At least this purse stays true to Lux de Ville’s retro vision. From its classic quilted body to its kisslock clasp, this is easily recognizable as one of Lux de Ville’s creations. It’s also the label’s largest kiss-lock bag, so if it’s space you’re after you won’t be disappointed. If you’ve loved the label’s bags before you’re likely to warm to this one, but there’s probably nothing here to gain new fans.
My biggest problem is that the purse appears cheap, much cheaper than even its affordable $72 price tag suggests. The pearlized finish on the vinyl body is too shiny, especially on the back of the bag which is strangely glossier than the front. The bulleted feet hint at high-end luxury, but sadly this material isn’t really worth protecting.
If you already love Lux de Ville, you’ll probably forgive the label its mistakes here. But if you’re after a nautical accessory, you can do so much better than this.
