Zac Posen has a knack for producing purses that are modern classics. The Iris is no exception.
The padded geometric details on the front panel give this handbag an almost futuristic appearance. It could so easily have looked trendy, but the use of soft Nappa leather in traditional black and brown gives the Iris a more timeless appeal. The contrasting colors emphasize this purse’s design features, but they won’t suit everyone’s tastes. If you’d like a more conservative look you can also choose the Iris in plain gray or caramel brown.
This is a big bag, but it’s not quite as large as it first appears. Those pin-tucked pleats add volume, giving the purse an almost hobo-like quality. The interior is luxuriously lined with suede, but it doesn’t really offer the organizational features a bag of this size needs. There’s a zippered pocket on one side, but it’s not likely to be enough to stop those essentials sliding to the bottom.
Big handbags are often difficult to carry when full, but Zac Posen’s done his best to make things easy. The dual handles are long, flat, and padded for comfortable over the shoulder toting. That makes this bag ideal for those long shopping sprees or days spent running errands.
