Sometimes bad bags happen to good designers. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for this crocodile and fur monstrosity from Nancy Gonzalez. It’s hard to believe it came from the same mind as the one which brought us this timeless tote!
The problem is that there’s just so much going on. The details fight for attention, and nothing seems to win. Strips of Nancy’s beloved crocodile skin are woven over chocolaty suede leather for a subtly striking look. But this is the only part of the bag that shows any restraint. Tufts of colored fur clash terribly with the brown bag. They appear more like pom poms from a children’s craft project than a luxury feature. These lurid tufts sit alongside croc covered beads, which to the untrained eye appear like Froot Loops.
I’m a lot more enthused about the interior, with its lush suede lining and generous storage room. A large zippered pocket and cell phone slip are trimmed with leather to last the distance. A cool croc clasp helps to keep your precious cargo in place.
This Nancy Gonzalez tote features the high quality fabrics and functional design we expect from the designer. But only the most confident bagistas will be able to pull of such a flamboyant style!
