I admire Stella McCartney’s commitment to animal free products, but I don’t always admire the accessories she creates. While I can’t fault their sentiment, the synthetics she chooses tend to look a bit shiny and cheap. She does her best work when the manmade materials are kept to a minimum, as they are with this Prince of Wales shoulder bag.
This small bag is unassuming, but its checked tweed body has a gentle charm. That faux leather I’ve criticized sets off the plaid nicely, and as there’s only a splash we don’t notice its quality, or lack thereof.
This shoulder bag is small but well designed, with three internal compartments and a convenient slit pocket. There’s no excuse for disorganization with such a clever shoulder bag on your arm.
This Prince of Wales purse just begs to be paired with cute cardigans and pleated skirts. Sadly though, you probably won’t have the cash for those cute ensembles. At $1045 it’d be expensive if it were made of real leather. For a purse so small and made of tweed, it’s ludicrous. Stella McCartney’s name might carry some weight, but not that much.
