From the cheap and cheerful label Bebe to the high class design house of Valentino, it seems everyone in the fashion world has fallen for rosettes. Mad by Design is the latest label to offer up a rosette covered purse, and at an affordable $50 it’s certainly worth a look.
If you can’t afford a Valentino purse this Mad by Designs one is a great alternative. Its silky material isn’t as luxurious as that from the Italian fashion stable, but it forms the flowers beautifully. That deep crimson shade is also very wearable, as it provides a pop of color that’s not as garish as a scarlet red.
Choosing a handbag like this is a lovely way to get a little extra storage space on an evening out. It’s larger than most clutches, but it has all of their style. The zippered pocket is also a welcome alternative to the tiny slips most evening purses have.
The biggest sticking point for me is the handle. While this wooden feature looks lovely, it’s not likely to be very forgiving on your hands if you’ve exploited that extra storage room.
It’s not perfect, but an evening bag rarely is. For a mere $50, I’m willing to swallow this one’s flaws.
