Pierre Hardy bags are like the schoolgirl equivalent of the high school cheerleader: cool, always in the know, sought after and, in this case, totally Snob-worthy. I honestly believe Mr. Hardy’s designs–be it his shoes or bags–enjoy this underground cult following (the accessories version of a Skulls & Bone society). I like that, for spring, he branched out and went graphic with this black and white perspective cubes canvas tote with red leather trim. Yes, when I first saw this bag, my first thoughts were “picnic basket,” but I’ve yet to see something this chic storing cold pasta at my local park. The wide straps–a Pierre Hardy signature–ensure a solid, hearty grip and fit be it over your shoulder or in your hand. I have the larger men’s version (I fell in love with it when I saw it at Barneys several seasons ago) and needless to say, it’s incredibly accommodating and can carry everything from magazines and newspapers to a complete workout attire (sneakers included). And let’s face it: at $870, it’s a comparative bargain in the designer market.
$870 available at Barneys New York, Pierre Hardy boutiques and www.pierrehardy.com
Seriously? This hurts my eyes. I’m not dropping $870 to blind people as I’m walking down the street.
This bag is horrible. Man snob is a terrible blogger and does not have any clue about what bags are snob worthy.
