I’ve always found the purses from Roberto Cavalli’s Just Cavalli collection to be a little hit and miss. Sadly the confused design of this shoulder bag sees it fall into the latter category.
Some may feel the snake print is too busy, but I don’t mind the texture it gives the polyester fabric. But such an outlandish pattern should have been the only embellishment. It’s not. We also have the ornate leather trim around the zippered pocket, which complements the loosely braided handle. By adding these Western-inspired touches, the look simply gets muddled. Is this purse runway ready, or appropriate for a rodeo?
It’s a shame, because this isn’t a bad bag. It’s the ideal size: large enough for carrying essentials and a few luxuries, but not so big that it’ll overwhelm a small frame. This functional space is lined with durable jacquard, while the pockets are reinforced with leather.
It all adds up to the kind of purse you could carry happily carry every day, if only it didn’t look like that. I can’t decide whether I should wear it with a neutral ensemble or my cowboy boots!
