The Devil Carries Prada PVC Bags…

Prada, in nowadays, symbolizes the gold-headed cane of the Queen, which has the magic power. Boom, the smooth marble floor has become the material of Spazzolato handbags; Boom, the pendants of crystal lamp on the ceiling has become the decoration on the handbags and shoes. To apply the architectural conception to the designing idea on hands and feet, wow, I can’t help admiring the sense of humour of Miuccia Prada.
The transparent version of ‘Plex + Spazzolato’ and ‘Mistolino’ series are the most stunning items on the runway, which are full of dazzling and red-blooded summer breath. Since every fashion show in every season may have used a lot of leather and fur, why not trying another way to be off the beaten track? And it seems that Prada has bet on the right horse…

This series of bags has made the PVC as the material, creating a clean and fresh feeling for the next season. Neither following the monochrome trend of Chanel, nor purchasing the multicoloured design in current days, Prada has successfully opened up a transparent field. And the small shiny stones and plastic crystals has swept away the dull look of those bags. Nice try, isn’t it?
However, Prada is indeed the devil. The prices are beyond our imagination as usual. So, maybe you can try to get a replica one as you wish…
Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Hobo

In recent days, I have been fond of searching the chic T-shirt for my summer on the Internet, and what’s interesting is that I found the image of the geek little girl designed by Marc Jacobs had been printed on many T-shirts, in different poses in different expressions. I couldn’t help signing he is really the genius!

And this feeling has become more shapened as I saw this Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Hobo. I must admit this wizard has a keen sense for the fashion. It seems that he can predict which to be the next trend, or more exactly, he might be the hidden hand of the vogue.

Yes, there are many woven bags in the market, but this one, which seems to have the magic, can catch people’s attention at first glance. And the fringed element seems to be the history, which was so popular in 2009, however, Marc has learned to change the past to the last.
Moreover, the figure of taupe leather with metallic, embossed leather basketweave overlay reminds me of the paradise fish of China; the grain looks just like the fish scale, which has lightened the common dull woven pattern. Then the multi-tone leather fringe hanging from sides and bottom has added some Bohemian flavor to the whole look. Besides the designed idea is very unique and creative, this bag is supposed to be durable for the leather material. Well, as we all know, the price of beauty can not be low, this hobo is no exception—$1795. So to buy or not to buy, it’s all up to you…

No commentsReviewing Gucci Irina Medium Tote
When I talk about the word “Irina”, you may think of the super model Irina Lazareanu, but actually you are wrong, what I want to say is the Gucci Irina medium tote, that features the same characteristics with the model. Though this bag is Gucci’s past collection, I think it is worthy retrospecting. As what Emmanuelle Alt of Vogue Paris praised the model Irina, “on the runway, no matter what, she cannot be transformed. She always has the unique look and style.” We could also think he just praised this bag.

It is made out of crocodile leather with brass hardware. It also has the shiny gold studs beset on the double handles and around the top of bag, and eight obvious heart accessories on the surface. Those elements together give sophisticated yet adventurous, luxurious yet casual, classic yet upbeat to its design.
What I like most about this bag is the heart accessories. There is a knight carrying shied and a luggage on it that tell us the long history of the Italian fashion house, Gucci, and the a rose and the wheel above the knight means elegance and strength of Gucci House.
