Roger Vivier embraces its whimsical side with this playful suede shoulder purse.
I must admit, this is the last accessory I expected to see from the fashion house known for its sleek, retro designs. I imagine a young girl might make something like this if someone handed them a plain black bag, a few heart details, and a glue gun. They’d probably think the colored hearts bordered in gemstones were beautiful, but as an adult I’m less enthusiastic. The golden rope spelling out Roger Vivier’s initials only adds to that home-made feel.
I’m sure someone will love the innocence that comes from a purse that looks like a child made it, but I’m just not feeling it. It all looks too haphazard and juvenile for a bag costing $1795. That price should buy elegance and luxury, not an accessory that looks like a craft project.
The exterior really lets down what could have been a very tempting purse. With three expanding compartments it’s made to hold more than the average evening purse. While the chain straps are nothing special to look at, they’re another practical addition that only makes me wish this clutch looked better.
If you like this purse I suggest inviting your child to recreate it with supplies from your local craft store. You’ll save yourself a whole lot of cash, and it likely won’t look any worse.
