Nicole Lee brings us more haphazard design with her patchworked Lorelli Shopping Bag.
The uninitiated might be surprised by the Lorelli’s slapdash appearance, but we’ve come to expect such quirky, over embellishment from the designer. I haven’t always embraced the creative vision, but there’s something about the Lorelli that’s gotten underneath my skin. Patchwork’s always been a bit rustic, so why not take it to the nth degree? The combination of green and yellow hues looks fresh, and the exaggerated stitches are very cute.
While it’s charmed me I don’t expect the Lorelli’s quirkiness to appeal to everyone. It’s far from refined, and that’s bound to put off girls who shop on the High Street. But even they can’t deny that this shopping tote represents excellent value. Underneath that whimsical exterior is a workhorse with plenty of space and pockets too. Its dual handles are long and flat, so that they won’t slide from your shoulders while you’re hitting the mall. It could use some kind of security closure, but really that’s the only thing it’s lacking. It’s not a small oversight by any means, but it’s just one thing.
And the Lorelli costs just $89.99. That price doesn’t buy us luxury materials, but it buys us priceless originality.
