One of my favorite aspects of this job is when I get to peruse the web in order to bring you something you might not have seen before. So, before I get started, how many of you are fans of Mad Men?
Sadly, I haven’t seen the show yet, but I hear it is absolutely fabulous and rather addicting. In fact a few designers Megs and Vlad met with during their last trip to NYC mentioned that they too are Mad Men addicts. One of the things about the show that seems to be heavily discussed is wardrobe. It’s the old school elegance, style and grace that keep people a buzz. When I saw the Santi Yellow Satin Beaded Evening Bag, I thought this could be a handbag you might catch on the show. Santi handbags are hand-beaded and sequined which definitely emulates the 1960’s look that seems to be making a come back. The color, shape and bead work results in a handbag that could be a gorgeous way to add something very unique and special to your night-on-the-town look. I think I like it.

I saw this and thought what a great cat toy! Sorry, it’s way too busy with all the beads/balls hanging off it!
too much
Yuck! It looks like an overdone arts and crafts project of a third grader. Too much stuff on it
Looks like some weird oceanic life form.
my eyes! my eyes!
I finally figured out what this reminds me of –Scrubbing Bubbles!! I never saw any handbag remotely like this in the ’60s. However, if it were large sequins instead of beads, and you put it on your head, it would remind me of some of the hats I’ve seen older women wearing in Florida. Seriously.
I love love love this.
yack! a little too much for me…
Trend alert? Try barf alert because i’m gonna hurl.
Sorry – looks like eyeballs – TONS of eyeballs, eek
I cant believe everyone is so opposed to this bag! I really like it!! I have a very loud style so maybe it would fit well in my closet but personally I would definately rock it to a brunch or to a cocktail party.
looks bad…
this is definitely unique, and i like it up to a certain extent—but i need to see it in person in order to judge the beading on the bag, because i see potential tackiness, but also potential fun retro as well.
mixed feelings 😐
I think this bag is adorable! Great color, fun details…I’d definitely carry this to a party to “dress up” a simple jeans & tank outfit.
