Let’s get one thing out there, directly away: I’m not a “pink” person. My preferred color was black when I was little, as well as I’ve added red as well as chartreuse to the listing of favorites as I’ve gotten older, however pink has never been in the cards for me. I understand that’s odd for a bit woman that was increased in a bucolic suburb as well as with a extremely typical upbringing, however pink has always seemed to mean whatever that I’ve never been interested in: damsels in distress, princesses, as well as old-fashioned femininity. Not my thing. I’ll wear black up until they discover something darker.
Gradually, however, a specific shade of pink has begun to worm its method into my bit black heart, as well as it’s the shade of pink utilized on the Rebecca Minkoff accept Perforated Hobo. I just desire that I liked the rest of the bag as much.
The completing of this bag is problematic, to state the least. We’ll offer with the proliferation of perforated leather in a moment, however the greatest issue I’m having is with the leather. The quasi-glazed treatment that Minkoff selected is making this bag look like PVC – plastic, fake, shiny. Needless to say, not a great look. If the leather’s surface had been softer as well as a lot more supple, I may not have been displeased with the perforation. designers must keep in mind that there’s a fine line between “perforated high-end handbag” as well as “basketball jersey,” as well as making a bag with this type of glaze does not bode well for staying on the ideal side of that line.
The great news is that completes like the one on this bag normally break in over time as well as ended up being less fake-lookng; the poor news is that you still have to wear the bag up until it appears like genuine leather again. For a shade of pink so perfect, however, it may be worth the time investment. ideally we’ll see this exact same color in non-perforated iterations throughout Minkoff’s spring collection. get with Bloomingdale’s for $425.
