I keep saying I’m excited that the 80′s are back but only if updated with a 2009 aesthetic (because really, it was the most hideous decade of all). Most designers are taking inspiration from the 80′s, not trying to replicate the 80′s. The designers at Pauric Sweeney, however, were too lazy to modernize or update– they’re just partying like it’s 1985. Which means hideous patchwork in various offensive shades of animal print that resemble those awful leather earrings people were nuts about– on nylon no less. I’m mostly shocked about the price though. Who has the audacity to charge over a thousand dollars for a bunch of scrap leather on nylon? The only person this bag is appropriate for is my 4 year old niece; but she’s quite the little bag snob and I have a feeling even she would refuse, unless it was filled with lollipops. PAURIC SWEENEY – PADDED PATCHWORK TOP HANDLE € 810.00/ $1,032 with free shipping (because they’re just begging you to take it) at Luisa Via Roma.
I might get it if its on shelf in H&M for 35$??
this is just atrocious. There are now so many bag designers and so many bad ones!!!
I love Pauric Sweeney but, this bag is just odd.
I’m sure it’ll work somewhere in the Old Country but, for the most part it’s awful.
However, there are some redeeming qualities…
Just give me some time to look for them.
Oh Tina, your review had me in stitches!!! Hahaha! You are right though. It is insulting that they would charge so much for scraps of nylon. Would not spend a dime on this. It is something they should give away as a GWP loaded with sample cosmetics.
