3.1 Philip Lim “Gigi Woven Clutch”

3.1 Philip Lim Gigi Woven Clutch

If you ever wanted to have a bag which would be in total contrast to every outfit you might ever wear, this is pritty much it it. The first thing that came to my mind after seeing this one was dark trousers matched with killer pumps or a white mid-long dress with flip flops, two easy going and simple outfits which are perfect to be accessorized with an unusual bag like this. Keep in mind that this is a pretty hard bag to handle, since you have to be cautious not to compromise this bag’s need to have the spotlight just for itself. You don’t need any jewellry or a crazy hairstyle, extravagant shoes or a shirt with a psychedelic pattern while carrying this in your hand to really make an impression.

The mix of the colors is a definite hit since the white stripes somehow subdue the strong impact yellow-black contrast would usually have. I might as well say that weaving leather bands like this is the only way you can possibly make the bag look god if you decide to go for a black-yellow-white mash up. The bag fits in your hands nicely, since it’s made of soft calfskin and not to big, so it won’t be a burden to carry around. My guess is that it will carry you throughout a few SS seasons since it doesn’t have any one-season-wonder details on it. The colors, shape and the size - everything has already been seen in some combination before. The interior is fine textile lined with an open top partialy closed with a black leather flap hiding a magnetic snap closure beneath it.

The price may be a set back since many of you would probably only consider buying this bag if they had all other bases covered, but nevertheless, I think it was worth presenting since here at Bagddicted, we have a sense for every taste.
