I have to admit that I’ve never really been a big fan of Michael Kors. I’ve always felt like his designs were a little trendy and boring, but this season he’s totally changed my mind. This fabulous Skorpios tote is a great example of where the line seems to be headed.
The black leather on the Skorpios has an invisibly fine grain. That keeps the surface of the bag sleek, smooth, and perfect for showing off its slouchy design. The braided leather handle provides textural contrast to the body of the Skorpios, and is thick and comfortable enough to carry all day. But there is a detachable shoulder strap, as well, in case you want to fill the bag to its capacity, which is ample.
The shape of the Skorpios is truly inventive. It has a balloon-y, almost hobo-esque bottom, and is gathered in with the circular handle, by way of grommets, at the top. The gathering at the top gives a pleated effect that is big on volume. The Skorpios is a seriously chic uptown bag with enough attitude to carry you downtown, and at $995, it’s well-priced for such a stylish designer bag.
