Not all dots are created equal. Harsh as it may sound, some polka dots are simply way better than others. I always love a good spotty-dotty print, but when the pattern is elevated thanks to some artistic abstraction, a harmonious blending of multiple prints, or an altogether unexpected feel, it’s enough to make me crave the classic motif all over again. Here, five current bags that are spot-on:
1. Fendi By the Way Large Dotted Snakeskin Satchel:
Luxe and fun don’t always play well together, but in Karl’s skilled hands, crisp snakeskin combines with a kaleidoscope’s worth of bright hues to create a bag that’s just as eye-catching as any of his little monsters. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $3,900.
2. Serpui Marie Polka Dot Pattern Clutch:
There’s something about these overtly stitched, handcrafted dots give that grant this beautifully rustic clutch a high level of sophistication. On Farfetch for $400.
3. The Beatles x Comme des Garçons Tote Bag: This tote only recently came out, and it’s already an undeniable collector’s item. Best of all, it combines my love of polka dots with the best band of all time. On Farfetch for $504.
4. Ralph Lauren Collection Ricky Polka-Dot Chain Shoulder Bag: It’s always amazing to see a classic switched up with the addition of something whimsical, and the Ricky is one of the most timeless bags out there. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,250.
5. Dolce & Gabbana Carnation and Polka-Dot Origami Clutch:
This clutch proves it’s impossible to have too much of a good thing. An uplifting cocktail of dots, florals and exuberant ruby-red crystals results in nothing but love. At Barneys New York for $2,195.
