Wandler mini Hortensia tote | Is this DVF Silver bag terrible, or just insane enough to be fabulous?

Elleme Envelope shoulder Silver bag

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

The front pocket rectangle belt Silver bag Blau 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 Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver bag that looked like this.

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

The black leather strap hanging down actually convert the Silver bag to a cross body. It looks better on the actual website ( Buy through Net-a-Porter for $795.) 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 Silver bag say it all.

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

This is a Runway show Silver 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 Silver bag by DVF. A picture doesn’t really do the Silver bag justice!

Ughhhhh, ugly…

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 Silver bag for a day!
