This polka dot purse from Mad by Design can easily turn any outfit into a showstopper. Its bold contemporary good looks would be equally at home running errands in the city or keeping company over cocktails when the sun goes down.
This bag is a real beauty, with amber horn polka dots covering the front and back. Spotted purses can often look a little Minnie Mouse, but by keeping the colors dark and neutral Mad by Design avoids the novelty factor. The same amber horn is utilized again in the handles. It creates a unified and modern look, but it’s not the most practical option. Prepare for a little inconvenience when you’re carrying this baby around, and if you’ve got some travelling to do you may want to get a cab, or take a purse with a much longer strap.
Silk purses are often delicate things that lack structure, but that’s not the case here. The smooth fabric is reinforced, so it stands up tall and proud. It’s not very large, but I would still hesitate about loading it to capacity. Those handles are a stumbling block again, bound to dig into delicate palms if the purse gets too heavy.
The Mad by Design has some serious flaws, but its good looks are hard to argue with. Thankfully Mad by Design realizes the bag’s limitations, so they’ve kept the price down to a reasonable $52.
