Fashion has always been a very fanciful realm for me. In a long meeting? I’ll dream of the latest Mackage winter coat showings. Can’t seem to fall asleep? I count outfits in my head, not sheep.
My latest faux excess? The very appropriately named silver snake embossed covet bag from Rebecca Minkoff.
Always a fan of her designs, I recently started taking note of them again after one of my favorite people acquired a riff on her circle quilt swing purse (shown here in raspberry). I loved the beribboned chain handles, and the clever use of studs to update such an iconic design.
The covet bag is similarly vintage inspired, with a wonderfully ladylike structure. And the gorgeous metallic sheen is so well done – snakeskin can be so very hard to duplicate realistically, but Minkoff’s interpretation is Devi Kroell perfect at a fraction of the price (and more environmentally conscious to boot).
At $450, it’s a splurge. Perhaps Santa will be especially kind to me this year.
A girl can dream, can’t she?
