tod s leather belt bag | Is this DVF bag terrible, or just insane enough to be fabulous?

I think I know how this one is going to turn out, but in the spirit of Friday, let’s have a poll!

The loewe small heel crossbody bag item is a lot of look, in the immortal words of Tim Gunn. Sequins, feathers, multicolor metallic leather, studs, two straps…the design has a lot of competing visual ideas on a rather modestly sized bag, and my first reaction reflected that pretty accurately. But sometimes, stuff that seems totally awful is actually just weird enough to work, on the right girl. Standing out in a crowded contemporary handbag market takes some guts, which this bag has in spades, but I’m just not sure that the ends justify the means in this case in particular. What do you think? Vote and let us know in the comments.

The concept is not so bad but the mix of all these elements: feather (of the worst quality), paillettes,leather and techno textile, brown blue and black…All these thing together make the bag so heavy and so ugly that no one can wear it and be beautiful!

I think that it’s crazy enough to work. I would wear it, but I don’t wear much print or texture. Today I have on a tan skirt and an orange shirt. So, a bag that’s a little busy would work for me. My friends, family, and co-workers wouldn’t bat an eye if they saw me with a bag that looked like this.

but I don’t understand the black leather strip hanging on the right side of the handle attachment.
Fun and interesting bag, but too much going on for me.

The black leather strap hanging down actually convert the bag to a cross body. It looks better on the actual website ( rainbow straw bag kids.) where you can see someone wearing it cross body.

I voted for crazy…but now that I’m really looking at it I’m thinking it could work with some modification. ie: remove the shoulder strap for a start and then remove the studs on the front flap, except for the 4 that are on the metal face plate, then I think I could use it.

My pairing would be basic black – LBD and black heels, let the bag say it all.

Well I just find it hard to believe that they’re selling this bag for $795! What rip off?!

Looks like a peacock got in a fight with a wood chipper and lost. 🙁

I only voted too crazy because of the feathers. Feathers are always a no-no on bags.

Crazy! Even though you can tell all the materials used are exquisite, there’s just too much!

Sorry, but it’s just ugly to the power of n where n = infinity.

This is a Runway show bag for FW10; not meant for everyday wear but as a statement piece of art. It is a fancy version of the Piper Daybag whose body is typically knit leather, a la the Stephanie Medium bag by DVF. A picture doesn’t really do the bag justice!

Ughhhhh, ugly…

i`m pretty sure that next time i look in the dictionary and search for the word “tacky” i won`t be surprised to see this bag to be its description.

It’ll take the right kind of person to pull it off. So my answer is it depends on who’s carrying it. (ipad)

Jen

I don’t hate it… But… Eh. (ipad)

At first glance it looks cool. But the feathers would get wrecked and look terrible after wearing this bag for a day!
