Roberto Cavalli is known for his bold, flashy designs. And I’ll tell you what, nothing says Cavalli to me like animal print with gold accents. This Zebra Print Shopper is what Cavalli is all about.
But this isn’t your ordinary, everyday, plain old zebra-striped bag. The print on this tote is intricate and extremely well-thought out. It’s as though someone might have looked at an actual animal when they drew it, instead of squiggling some black lines on white fabric. I know animal print isn’t for everyone, but I for one love it, and this is what it should look like.
The shape of the bag is simple and classic, which is great, because the print doesn’t really need anything to compete with it. The gold grommets are okay, but honestly, the snake print luggage tag is a little much. Thankfully it’s also easily removable.
The braided leather handles enhance the wild feline attitude of the bag quietly, but as usual, I have a bone to pick with how thin they are. At 21″ x 24″ x 14″, this bag is huge, and it really warrants some extra comfy thick straps. I know that the straps are meant to add a bit of delicacy, and that would be great on a smaller bag, but on this one, I would like to see comfort accounted for.
My only other concern with this bag is about the price. At $1,010 retail, I might like a material slightly more exotic than canvas, but maybe that’s the tradeoff for the detailed animal print.
