Emilio Pucci Mombasa Print Small Shell Bag

After a bit of a long, stressful, and sick week it is finally Friday. Yay for Friday and the weekend. I am planning on doing some shopping and relaxing this weekend. Right now I am in the mood for summer fun. Pucci bags always emanate fun and flirty patterns and styles. The Emilio Pucci Mombasa-Print Small Shell Bag gets my mind summer ready with its shell shape and seaside flair. I know we all get sick of the same patterns and shapes when it comes to bags and whether you like this bag or not you must admit that it looks completely different than most bags out there. The body of this bag is a poofy Mombasa-print canvas which is accented with a textured swirl pattern on the rich brown leather trim. Some may think it is too much, but I can picture this bag with jeans, a white tee, cute shoes, and some over-sized glasses (anyone catch on to the fact that I'm a jean and tee kind of gal?!) There is gold metal hardware, an inside zip pocket, and aqua textile lining. Buy this bag through eLuxury for $750.

I love this print and colourway ; I have the matching hair accessory (have I said that before?! ).

I think the leather looks a bit too stiff and shiny, for me, though and I would prefer it, if the fabric didn't poof out, quite so far. I also think that the bag would be more attractive, if the leather was a slightly nicer (darker) brown; as it is it reminds me, a bit too much, of poor quality chocolate!.

But overall, it's a thumbs up from me!


Edit: My BF has just pointed out, that it looks like an evil monster bag, eating an innocent poofy bag!!!

I really like this Pucci bag. It's great for summer. The pattern is just so summery. Are you gonna get it, Megs?

I love blue and brown combinations- I've been doing this a lot of this in my line of work. It's fun, but I don't think I'd spend that kind of money on it.

I love the shape but hate the brown embossed top. too fussy.
the shape reminds me of my Dior Ballet bag. I love that. only regret is the large DIOR metal links on the handle. I always carry the DIOR links nearer to my arm to avoid drawing attention to it...
