This bag balances girly-ness and hard rock edge perfectly. I adore it. I also have a secret crush on its uber girly sister- The Phillip Lim Edie bow-embellished velvet bag. I can’t help it.

I’m not usually a fan of anything velvet, it usually reminds me of my velvet red Christmas dress when I was 5 years old when my tights were itchy during church. But….. I adore this velvet. I do. Am I crazy?

Snob in leather. Slob in velvet.

total slob!
I like bows but not on this bag….Slob
