If you thought all evening wristlets were created equal, then think again. Savanna turns the tired old wristlet on its head with this unusual crinkled satin purse.
The difference comes from the wrist strap, which rather than hanging from the side stands up proudly from the top. I really like the concept; ordinarily purses appear a bit awkward dangling from a funny angle, but here the original look is preserved. I’m just not sure about the execution.
Where most wrist straps are detachable, this one seems firmly fixed. If you wanted to carry the purse as a clutch, or as a shoulder bag with the longer attachable strap, it seems it will still stick up proudly. I suppose you could try tucking it away inside, but I’m not sure how easily the purse will close then.
I’m also just not sure about the purse’s look. It’s got a lot going on, and I’m not sure any element really feels integrated. The shape has a vaguely Asian appeal, the pleats are chic, and the rhinestones high class. I would have liked any of these accents on their own, but all together I’m just not sure.
But at least it doesn’t cost the earth. Savanna sorts out your evening look here for a mere $32.
