Sonia by Sonia Rykiel is the more affordable sister line of the French designer’s premier collection. But does that really mean it should get the dregs?
Honestly, it doesn’t look like the fashion mastermind even tried here. There’s a certain retro charm to the large silver studs which dot this black domed bowler bag, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of imagination here. There’s no flair to the execution; studs are trendy but most designers do more than simply plant them on a fairly ordinary purse.
It’s a shame, because this studded bowler had the potential to impress girls looking for a relative bargain. The sexy leopard print lined interior is big enough to suit everyday use, and there are the organizational pockets to match. A long silvery zipper is a great foil to the studs, and it keeps our precious cargo safe.
But for $545 I just want more. Yes it’s cheaper than a regular Sonia Rykiel bag, but I can find many more interesting bowlers for that kind of cash.
