Roberto Cavalli has created some of the quirkiest and kookiest bags that I’ve ever seen. So I was surprised to see the designer release this fairly pedestrian logo detail bag.
The name really doesn’t leave much to the imagination, and neither does the bag. There are logo details all over the material, which is an affordable blend of polyamide and leather. I’ve never been a fan of signature prints, but in these mellow tones this one isn’t as obnoxious as some. It’s also not as exciting.
The shape too makes me yawn, a nondescript but functional silhouette which will hold most things you need while blending into the background. The curved reptilian leather trim is the most interesting part of this purse, but even it’s not enough to make me part with my cash.
There’s nothing wrong with a designer trying something new, and there’s certainly a place for classic handbags in any closet. But this one isn’t as well executed as it might be. Roberto Cavalli’s usual fans will likely be disappointed by its lack of innovation, while anyone who’s never warmed to his designs will be too disinterested in this one to reevaluate their stance.
That’s unfortunate because at less than $200, this is an affordable way to get some Roberto Cavalli into your wardrobe.
