Stella McCartney always puts an edgy downtown twist on her designs. Not so edgy that she doesn’t have an uptown audience, though. Usually she walks a very thin line between classic and punk rock.
But on this clutch, I’m not sure the design is classy or edgy. The patent leather is sleek and high quality, but the rivet details that are supposed to pass as rock-n-roll just look terribly terribly cheap. It’s not just the rivets themselves, either; it’s what they do to the patent leather. I’m not sure if they’ve just been shoddily attached, but the material puckers up around them in a way that looks anything but classy.
To be honest, I am really disappointed, I expect a lot more from Stella McCartney, and certainly expect more from any bag that costs $725. The 12″ x 7″ x 2″ dimensions are very of-the-moment, large, and the flap front has a magnetic closure. It’s a very convenient size and decently organized if you like the look of it, but personally, I’ll be waiting for something better to come around.
