Dior Le Plisse Large Zipped Frame Bag I’m in a kind of a grouchy mood so my reaction on this bag might be influenced by that a bit, but I know you will agree with me when I say this bag is just horrible. I mean, this bag had so much potential and they still messed it up with the mash of all those unneccessary details. Unlike the Plisse Wristlet, which is totally adoring, this one is just fug.

It’s the perfect example of how carefull you’ve got to be when you are designing a big bag. You just cannot make bag of this size in a bright red color, add thin gathered pleats and stitched details and expect it to look good. I’m was discussing this bag with Zoe a moment ago and the only feature she liked was the aged gold metal hardware, and the only thing I like is the color. Everything else about it we simply couldn’t swallow.. Mixing such a strong vivid color with the other stuff featured on this bag is… well… a bagicide(?). If it was smaller it could work, but in this size, no way.

Dior Le Plisse Large Zipped Frame Bag As predictable as I am, I won’t skip saying that the leather is gorgeous and definitely high quality, which also goes for craftsmanship. It’s astonishing when you come to think how much time it takes to make a bag look like this. That’s a definite plus for it if nothing else…

Oh yes, I amlost forgot… I do like the handles as well. As for the interior… Nothing special, logo jacquard featured with a zipped, patch and a cell pocket and closed by a zipper closure implemented on a frame top, revealing the duality of this bag. The framed top and oriental pleats and stitching simply aren’t compatible in any way, which I guess is the reason this one will never work for me.
