Spiegel serves up the handbag equivalent of a Sharpei dog with this unusual Frame Bag.
I can’t help thinking about the wrinkly canine as I look at this ruched purse. Each one’s skin is haphazardly pleated, although the pooch has a bit more fuzz. Spiegel lets the ruching do all the talking here by keeping the shape and shade neutral.
I must admit, I’m a little puzzled by the frame though. This purse is all about letting it all hang loose, and frames love structure. The rigid top doesn’t quite fit here, but it’s not a deal breaker.
The clasp opens to reveal a spacious and well appointed interior. Its array of pockets does the trick without going overboard. I also appreciate the soft braided handle, which is both functional and full of flair.
We’re not getting real leather here, but at a mere $55 that doesn’t feel like too much of a compromise. That’s a steal for a purse with so much original style, especially when it comes with this many smarts.
