I just saw someone today with a ponyhair bag that was so furry I thought it was going to bite me. Pony needs to be shaved down really tight to be a part of fashion, otherwise you are just a caveman. So, having said that, this Philip Lim furry moss is great and I love it! The color of course is amazing for Fall and the zipped tote style is versatile, casual and hip. The circular handles are really cool looking but I do fear the practicality of it being that it is such a big bag at 21.5" x 13.5". When I get a big bag, I want to fill it up, if I didn't, I would just use a clutch, right? That is the one downside to this that I can foresee. Another warning, moms, don't even think about getting pony as a baby bag, caked in mess and stuck together fur is really nasty. Everything else seems so perfect, the zipped top makes this a perfect day time partner for city dwellers and can be used as an overnighter for those who have that need (wink wink). I even love the strange and oddly random bracket hardware, it adds an element of surprise and youthfulness. The price point is on the high side for Philip Lim but it is pony, $2375 at Browns Fashion.
Sorry Kelly, this bag is scaring me a little. The colour is part moss, part mud, part sewage....eek!
Thanks Kelly - I actually like the colour quite a lot - feels like i'm in a tranquil forest beside a babbling brook sitting amidst moss-covered rocks. A good Fall colour.
Love the bag esp the colour (and the zipped up top)! Somehow the use of pony hair gives extra dimensions to it. I agree with you Kelly...not sure about the handles on such a big bag.
I dislike using pony as a material for bags. Might as well start using dogs and cats, if you'll go that far.
Hi Cinnie, in this case, it means calf hair-- not real pony!
I really like your taste in bags but this one is UGLY!
