I’ve never been a die hard fan of Missoni. It’s a bit granola for me (granola-luxe that is!). From far away the prints and stitches look kinda nice but the minute I get up close to the piece I have a change of heart. Maybe it’s a taste maturity thing and one day I just may grow into Missoni. Perhaps their new line of bags is just what will help me make the cross-over. This one below, the M Missoni Gallery Silver Woven Large Double Handle Bag in Chevron/Creme, looks like something I’d carry during the summer months. $517 seems like a reasonable price for a Missoni bag but guess that would depend on where it’s actually made. It still feels a bit mature for my speed but I’m drawn to it. What do you guys think? Beautiful bag or Bag for a Hag?? Missoni Bag at RevolveClothing.com
