Roger Vivier shuns more popular animal prints for a healthy dose of cow with this Pochette Missive.
I appreciate a designer looking outside the box. I understand that reptilian prints and jungle animal patterns have been done to death. But cow? On a logical level these big black blotches make sense. The purse is made of hair calf after all, so I can see why Roger Vivier might have had bovines on the brain.
But these farmyard spots turn what could have been a sophisticated purse into something a bit gimmicky. It’s a shame because this Pochette Missive had some real potential. I love the way its tab threads through the cut-out design, and the engraved silver trim is a much classier alternative to a name plate or large logo.
The interior is also surprisingly well organized, with two separate compartments and a zippered pocket all working to keep your items in order. Really all that’s missing is a shoulder strap, but that’s not such a big omission. The Pochette Missive is pretty small, so you should be able to easily carry it by hand, even when it’s full to the brim.
At $935 the Pochette Missive is a pricy accessory. It’s made from high quality materials, but we don’t get a lot of them for our dollar. If you love cows though, this could be the purse for you!
