It's really a shame the beautiful beadwork is wasted on this particular bag. The gaudy fringes and the awkward shape of this bag ruin the piece as a whole. It's the Matthew Williamson Beaded shoulder bag. It looks more like a wine pouch than a handbag, being so long and narrow. And while the stitched beadwork on the bag is beautiful, the round beads on the fringes look cheap, and more like a craft project than a designer handbag. Speaking of the fringes, there are way too many -- down the sides, on the bottom, on the tie! Enough already! I have never seen a Matthew Williamson bag before this one, so I will suspend my overall impression until I see more. He definitely has potential, this bag just didn't make the cut.
Available at Net A Porter, $900.
