Just when I was beginning to suffer stud fatigue, Rafe releases this Belle cross body bag to change my mind.
Studs are typically used to add edge to a design, but these smooth domed studs are much more delicate and feminine. Some fashionistas may think they look too busy against the snakeskin printed leather, but I think the subtle reptilian skin needs the embellishment to save it from being boring.
If this look’s not for you maybe you’d prefer one of the other Belle bags. They all have that distinctive half moon shape, but the accents are quite different. Pyramid studs work with those smooth domed metal dots in a kind of haphazard cluster on the white and black bags. I think these purses are too cluttered, especially with the long tassel, but it’s all a matter of personal taste.
Rafe has made the Belle quite versatile with a few carrying options. With the strap tucked away it could be a modern evening clutch, but with it extended you could wear it cross-body before five. It might not to be big enough to carry every day, but with some careful packing you should be able to rock it when you want to.
That day to night appeal and on trend design makes this Belle purse a real beauty!
