Holy Moly Foley & Corinna

Revolveclothing.com has proven to be a remarkably fun way to spend my day! I never thought I'd say this, but I was justsosick of all the traditional bag websites. See what you readers are doing to me!?!?

I introduced you to Foley & Corinna and its popular foldover bag in an previous post. I do like the idea of the foldover bag, but it's become so incredibly widespread and copied and de-originalified© that I've been waiting for a new compelling offering from the company.


Fortunately, they've met my expectations with the Jet Setter Jr. bag. The name is plain awful, yes, and conjures images of the dreaded Juicy Couture and its stupid, immature, too-cool-for-school nomenclature. Ick. But for the purposes of this review I'll put the name aside. The Jr. definitely ticks off (that's the Brit in me coming out) the two things that I look for in a bag: simple and classic (I'm sure you well know the refrain by now). The bag is a great size, and the external features - two studs, mini-belt, zipper, and texturing detail - elevate this bag from being flat out boring.


The best part, I think, is that it comes in *EIGHT* amazing colors. Throughout this post are the sandstone, black, and maple versions (WOW I'm boring), but the bag is also available in "disco" white, dark brown, electric sea, fuchsia!!, and river stone (aka gray). $528 at Revolveclothing.com.
