Tianni follows Ed Hardy’s lead with this Rose Tattoo Cross-Body Bag.
Sadly this bag comes off as a poor imitation of those gaudy graphic bags. I’ve never really warmed to Ed Hardy’s bold prints, but at least they were part of the label’s original creative vision. Here the roses and regal crown seem imitative and uninspired. The slogan says “Love My Bag,” but it almost seems like a plea rather than a definitive statement.
The graphic takes focus from what is actually a pretty smart everyday cross-body. The lightweight canvas body makes the Rose Tattoo’s generous dimensions more manageable. The cross-body strap could stand to be much wider, but at least it’s got a synthetic portion to cushion our shoulder.
Had Tianni opted for a more original print, rather than simply following the cues of another fashion house, the $50 Rose Tattoo might have tempted me. However sadly it just seems like a cheap reproduction of a more expensive purse. It may find fans with Ed Hardy fans that are strapped for cash, but I can’t imagine anyone else being interested.
