3.1 Phillip Lim Meira Bag

I have been a serious fan of 3.1 Phillip Lim and to see this phenomenal gaffe of a bag is terribly disappointing. It looks like a folded over comforter hanging on the edge of your bed’s footboard. Those flaps are so disproportionately huge and they are on both sides! They do open up and function as pockets but I’m thinking if you overstuff them, the already exaggerated volume of them will just become ridiculous. Even the layering of the fold and the blue trim on the bottom looks like a mistake, it’s odd and mismatched. This design is nonsensical and totally hideous. The leather is soft and the colors are great but who really cares at this point? The 3.1 Phillip Lim Meira Bag at eluxury for a waste of $725.

  1. Once again I agree with you,Kelly. All I have to say that I hate the color(s). What a blaah if the spring will only offer these tans !

  2. I have to say I love the colors and the button type studs on the side. But I think if you stuffed those pockets too full the bag would take on a paper crane look from the side. This bag totally confuses me, while I like the way the pleating makes the leather look soft and supple it is just not executed in a manner that is pleasing. Too bad this bag has so many good things going for it and just misses the mark.

    Hah! I almost spat tea all over my keyboard when I read that. You’re right, too.
