Opening Ceremony loves to spread its creative wings, whether it’s with other designers like Betsey Johnson or more unexpected artistic types. One such left of center decision is the brand’s recent alliance with the film Where The Wild Things Are.
Like most people of a certain vintage, I was thrilled by Spike Jonze’s cinematic adaptation of the classic children’s book. However, I’m really not sure whether we needed Where the Wild Things Are: The Handbags. At the very least, the bags should be more subtle than these. These furry purses are truly monstrous, and while that suits the film it’s not intended to be a compliment! The matte cotton handles only cheapen the already tacky exteriors.
At least our $85 buys value. Each purse is reversible, so you can choose between these fuzzy looks or plaid cotton. Neither is particularly attractive, but if you were a fan of the book and film you still might want to add one to your collection.
