Pauric Sweeney Ryder Bag : Snob or Slob?

We loved the Pauric Sweeney python totes but I am on the fence over this little half moon crescent shape. It’s cute in theory and would make a great disco bag but the handle looks stiff and the bag is too small to use during the day. I do love the python, Pauric uses ultra soft skins on its bags but still, something about this shape is off to me. Or maybe I am in frugal mode and do not want to shell out $1,595 for a little disco bag?!? Someone please call my hubby and tell him I am being frugal!!! At Net a Porter

But what do you guys think? Worth it or not? In other words, Snob or Slob?

  1. Really? I love this bag and was actually thinking of getting it… It’s so soft and yes, it’s kinda on the small side, so I think it’s only suited for petite frames because of the crescent shape. However, it looks really good on a night out, and I could see it totally snazzing up an outfit matched with the right pair of heels. If you’re opting out of a clutch, and I’m starting to prefer evening bags that leave my hands free. I truly think it’s stunning!

  2. slob. ew. i can’t stand the shape. it reminds me of a coach hobo my sister had when she was in 6th grade. this is a disappointment since pauric sweeney python bags are normally gorgeous and “snob”.

  3. Slob, although it was reading everyone’s comments that really helped me narrow down why I didn’t like it. For me, the handle dominates the bag, and the shape is wrong. I think that both of these factors make the gold python skin look incongruous, which is odd when this is what should shine out (literally!) about the bag. It’s not a bag that would make you do the Snoopy Dance of Joy, is it?

  4. I don’t like gold full stop, not for bags. It goes in and out of style far too quickly for my liking, and when it’s ‘in’ again, there are so many new styles that the previous styles are obsolete. Not a great investment. Definite slob.

  5. slob – The gold python is great. It’s the shape that is wrong and the handle. The handle really detracts. It is too stiff and too much detailing. The python really needs to be the focus on this bag not the shape or hardware!

  6. It looks like a child’s purse.

    “Hello Mr. Craig, Tina is being frugal”.

    What a scary thing to hear, but not every cute or ugly handbag should cost a fortune, no matter how rich or poor you are.
