Prada’s created a clutch for the girliest of girly girls with this Raso Stones purse.
I usually embrace feminine accessories, but this one is too much even for me. It all started with that saturated fuchsia satin. The hue is really lurid, and likely to turn many girls off. However I actually don’t mind it, and I appreciate the way Prada’s draped it this way and that to create soft pleats. However the stones that run along the top of the clutch really take things a step too far.
Given the clutch’s name, I suppose the stones were to be expected. However I didn’t expect them to come in a rainbow of candy colors. They make the purse feel a little more opulent, but sadly they cross that line and approach overdone.
What you see is what you get here. Its interior is small but serviceable, although I’d hardly call it user friendly. The tiny open pocket seems like a token gesture, as we can’t really use it as a storage tool. There’s also no shoulder strap tucked away, so we’re left holding the Raso Stones by hand. That’s not generally a problem for such a small purse, but it’s still likely to grate towards the end of an evening out.
The Raso Stones seems like a bit of a novelty, which makes me even more hesitant to spend the $1460 that Prada commands. That’s not exorbitant by the famed fashion house’s standards, but I think that sort of money is better spent on something more versatile.
