Style Cynics

If you’ve read my other reviews you already know that I’m a sucker for the gathered look. In my opinion it’s the sexiest and romantic design element you can use in a shirt, bustier, tank dress, tailored jacket…and yes, even a purse.

Dior shows his knowledge of what is romantic and sexy in his Le Pisse Dior Frame purse.

The supple gathered lambskin is available in deep beige or black. I like the peachiness of the beige the best, so let’s talk about that particular hue. The beige is contrasted nicely by the shine of the metallic spring handle and the amber cabochon embellishment. I am a big fan of natural browns and ambers together – and in Dior’s case he works sultry magic by pairing the suppleness of beige and the sultry amber stone.

The matching leather embroidery just under the opening of the frame is delicate. It would be overdone if in a contrasting color, but in matching beige it works wonders and draws your eyes in for a closer look.

The most unique thing about the Le Pisse Dior Frame bag is the coiled handle. It almost gives it an antique look when wound with the matching beige leather.

Truly a rebel romantic the Dior Le Pisse Dior Frame Purse is available for pre-order, for $1,990 at SaksFifthAvenue.com.

Vintage clasp closure and chain detailing meets modern faux leather in this Rampage Flatiron Rugged Hobo for $58 from Endless.com.

Another sexy raunched design, but this one with a drawstring closure. The Hobo International Crescent Hobo is $238, also at Endless.com.
