Youth label XOXO takes a more grown-up approach than usual with this Double Vision shoulder bag.
It’s not quite the edgy rock and roll inspired purse it intends to be, but it’s getting there. The long center zip and front flap pockets call to mind a motorcycle jacket. The black vinyl has all of the edge of the black leather garment, although substantially less quality. However it does see this shoulder bag priced at just $72, which is just right for a teen handbag.
The glittery finish on the flaps undermines the Double Vision’s edginess, but it’s also what we’d expect from a teen label. It’s not a deal breaker, but it does remind us that this purse isn’t for most grown-ups.
While its design isn’t perfect, and its quality a little under par, I can’t fault the Double Vision’s functionality. Its fully lined interior is enormous, and its pair of patch pockets and zippered pouch is just what we’d expect from a high-end label. Sure, we’d expect those designers to use something better than polyester and line those pockets with leather, but at least the features here do the job.
I’m sure teens will graduate to a more polished purse once their budget allows, but until then this one does the job with more style than the average XOXO accessory.
