Sequined bags are like dinner parties – depending on who puts them together, they are either fun and fabulous or awkward and awful. When Prada is running the show, the sequin-coated tote comes out with flying colors. Not even a hint of the tackiness that should be left with New Year’s Eve’s fallen confetti. Tightly stitched for a rich, liquid-like, crystalline look, this is the right type of flamboyance. The kind a practical tote craves and thrives upon.
This easy, oversized style – no adornments but Prada’s classic plaque and a pair of top-handle straps in patent leather – means you can bring sparkle to market, work, and everywhere in between. Pewter gleams with neutrality and black is naturally the least ostentatious, but don’t live life as a wallflower! Go for the sapphire and shine the way you were meant to. Even in indigo, thanks to Prada’s graceful touch, you can add luster to your day without being inappropriately flashy. At Neiman Marcus for $1,350.
Pair with: Sparkle is contagious, but with this tote, you have more than enough to spare. Wear a pair of low-key ankle boots for maximum class. Viktor & Rolf’s stitched and seamed black booties have both sleekness and flair. Viktor & Rolf Leather Ankle Booties, $835.
The bag is certainly not something I would normally want to purchase, but it is kind of fabulous!
The prada bags are fantastic!
I thought the same thing as Sandra! I don’t usually go for sparkly, but these are really pretty!
