As I write here in Australia, current fashion is all about the spring racing carnival. You don’t need to love horse racing to enjoy the celebrations, which for many of us are all about frocking up, pouring a few glasses of bubbles, and feeling fabulous. I’ve chosen my dress for the big Melbourne Cup race, but I just can’t decide on a purse. If I were feeling particularly daring, this Secretary cross-body bag may have been the one.
It’s a bit obvious to carry a horse’s head to the races, but if your fashion taste veers towards the flamboyant that’s likely to be just the thing that you like about it. What I embrace is the quality behind the novelty factor. The horse is made from natural wood salvaged from fallen Acacia trees. It’s been beautifully realized, with big black eyes and a cute white spot on the nose.
It’s also not the most practical purse. The horse head shape will be more limiting than the average box purse, so you might want to apply one of those long-life lipsticks before you step out. There’s also a certain creepy Godfather vibe about carrying around a horse’s head.
And finally, at $350 it’s pretty expensive for a handbag that will never make its way into our everyday wardrobe. Something tells me the girls that have fallen for it won’t mind too much though; there’s certainly nothing else like it!
