Erotokritos Handbags Taupe Patent Basquet Bag $621
Erotokritos Handbags Blue Metallic Basquet Bag
Paris based Green/Cypriot designer, Erotokritos, is just the breath of fresh air I've been looking for in Cheap Thrills! Check out his line of funky wrinkled patent-leather bags with zipper pocket at front and knotted strap detail at sides. This is what young and hip Bag Snobs should be toting around the city! Your early 20's are the time of self expression and individual style (not that there is anything wrong with high end designer bags)-- tote this on your arm and instead of hearing-- "oh I have that bag" you'll hear "where did you get that bag!?!?"
The bright blue metallic version is extra cheeky and will guarantee you lots of attention! I like how he uses rolled leather as anchors to keep the bag's shape. It looks really square in the photos because they stuffed it full, it actually flattens out when you carry it under your arm. Now it won't pass muster with our seasoned Bag Snobs but hey, the young'uns gotta start somewhere! I also love his line of casually hip clothes, especially this adorable little blue sweater-- how sweet will that be with white jeans (I should mention I have a sick white pants obsession)?
