Tod’s seems determined to prove the old adage that good things come in small packages with this Fleur Pochette.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Tod’s creating a small purse, and now that I’m swooning over this one I wonder why it took so long. It’s delicate without being overly feminine. Its nude panels and colorblocking make it feel very contemporary, but its classic retro styling ensures it won’t date too quickly. Its smooth vachetta leather gives it clean crisp lines, and ensures it’ll hold up for as long as we want to carry it. Which judging by my initial reaction could be some time. Something tells me this is no fling!
Storage space is always compromised in such a petite purse, so Tod’s has to do something else to appeal to our practical side. It does it with the detachable strap, which takes the Fleur from a shoulder bag to an evening clutch in an instant. I also appreciate that this strap is made from more of that leather, rather than the usual metal chains, to cushion our shoulder.
Frankly Tod’s needed to wow us because at $1165 the Fleur is probably more expensive than any small purse should be. But it’s so lovely that I’m sorely tempted!
