Don’t judge a book by its cover, and don’t judge a bag by its bow.
When you first meet The Phillip Lim Edie bow-embellished leather bag, it seems sweet innocent and delicious, then turns around and gives you a swift kick in the ass- just like that pumpkin ale I tried yesterday….
With a neat little bow and compact size, it is cute as a button, but like most small packages, there is more then what meets the eye.
The black glossy leather is kissed with gunmetal studs and snake effect trim making this good girl bag go bad- and when I say bad, I mean awesome.
This bag balances girly-ness and hard rock edge perfectly. I adore it. I also have a secret crush on its uber girly sister- The Phillip Lim Edie bow-embellished velvet bag. I can’t help it. It’s like the bad boy in school; you know you shouldn’t want him, but you just can’t tear your eyes away. I’m not usually a fan of anything velvet, it usually reminds me of my velvet red Christmas dress when I was 5 years old when my tights were itchy during church. But….. I adore this velvet. I do. Am I crazy?
What do you guys think of The Philip Lim Edie Bow bags? Snob or slob?
They are both available at Net-A-Porter for $725 for the leather and $695 for the velvet.
Yes, a little crazy 🙂 – or maybe its the Xmas spirit. Hey, it’s still velvet! And the bow… Hmm… Now when I look at the purple one again, I do see that there is something Christmassy to it. So maybe its a nice idea for the holidays. But I wouldn’t 🙂
Snob in leather. Slob in velvet.
Really not me at all. I like some bows but not these.
total slob!
I like bows but not on this bag….Slob
