Michael Kors looks to fulfill all our everyday needs with this Erin shoulder bag.
There’s a lot to like about this shoulder bag. I love the purple wisteria shade, which is gentle enough to wear everyday even though it could never be classed as a neutral. I’m also a fan of the soft leather, which looks even more plush and voluminous with all those pleats. This is a bag that appears richer than its $329 price tag might suggest.
But by appealing to our everyday fashion sensibilities, Michael Kors has also created a bag that’s a little bit ordinary. I like it, but I probably wouldn’t be persuaded to part with my cash either.
That’s unfortunate for Michael Kors, because he hasn’t really made any missteps. It’s just the right size for pack-rats desperate to carry essentials and luxuries around at once. It doesn’t feel unmanageable either, with a collection of pockets and a fob for your keys. And the designer has come through when it comes to carrying this baby around, with a choice of shoulder straps or a removable cross-body one.
The Erin just doesn’t show enough individuality to rev me, but I’m sure anyone taken in by that lovely purple leather won’t be disappointed.
