The Bubble bag is the latest “It” handbag to come from the iconic fashion house of Versace. Halle Berry and Fergie have been snapped carrying the tamer nude and beige versions, but I prefer this vibrant orange purse. The shade accents the Bubble’s unique texture, and satisfies the current trend for all things 80s.
It’s that texture which gives the Bubble its name. The perforated leather is gathered and quilted, creating a cute squishy look which just begs to be touched. The texture continues through the handles, which are plaited for comfort and style. Signature rings on the sides of the bag mimic the tasseled zipper pull with their almost psychedelic concentric circles. There’s a lot going on, which will probably alienate conservative tastes, but I believe that somehow it all works.
The generous interior is roomy without being overwhelming thanks to the abundance of pockets. Zip and slip pouches are on hand to store your personal technology, loose change, and other little essentials. They’re all trimmed with leather to resist wear and tear for years to come.
It is lovely, but as with so many “It” bags the Bubble is out of the reach of many of us. With a retail value of $3440, eBay’s the only option for most purse lovers!
