Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag

Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag

We all know Diane von Furstenberg for her stunning clothing collection, mainly her dresses. There is not a season that passes that I don’t buy at least one of her amazing numbers. Her innovative design and casual feel appeals to all audiences. And while her clothing is top notch, her handbags that we have seen have ranged for the very affordable Floral Tote to the outrageous Gold Heart Bag costing $36,000. While her handbag collection has been few and far between, I kept yearning for the chic appeal that is seen in her clothing line on a bag. She has done it! I am enthralled with this bag. The Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag combines her house favorite wrap dress into a stunning leather bag, making a must-have option from DvF. This is the ideal bag that I have been waiting for from Diane, combining the practical ingenuity and the laid-back design. This leather choice is named denim, but it is very reminiscent of the fabulous Hermes Blue Jean color. The pale gold hardware adds a delightful subtle sheen and the wraps of leather straps finish off the look to make it very recognizable. This large tote comes with a small DvF embossed purse which is a great addition. This is a total must and now I am thrilled to watch Diane create new and exciting handbags for seasons to come. Buy through Net A Porter for $900.

And if the leather version is not enough for you, there is an exotic crocodile version that was spotted on the runway also. I am awaiting information on the price of the crocodile bag.

i love it!!! i was eyeing this bag too, megs!! just one thing: is the top opened or zipped???

Top is open, which is kind of a bummer. But it is so slouchy that it can fall over to appear closed easily.

The fact that Tilda Swinton is carrying it is not exactly a guarantee of good taste. Did anybody notice what she was wearing at the Oscars? That black satin sheet draped on a shoulder was voted as one of the worst gowns of the evening, and quite rightly so.

Just received the blue bag yesterday, it is beautiful. The color in no way resembles hospital scrub blue, and I should know I wear them almost every day. The “belt” is adjustable so you use it more open or closed as you like. It is huge, so be forewarned. The hardware is so light gold it actually comes off silver in most light. It is very tall, you would really have to make an effort to lose your stuff, as it is equally supple and pretty much closes itself when it is set down. And who knows, maybe someday it will be a collector’s item as DvF’s first handbag. I will enjoy this bag in spring/summer. The zippered bag inside is very roomy as well.
