Italian designer house Moschino has always tried to inject humor and irony into its collection. They take some traditional elements of fashion and mix it up with the unexpected. That doesn’t always work though. This particular bronze Cheap and Chic Python Frame Bag has a great shape, elegant skin and a big floppy, girly bow. It is also trimmed with homestyle craft staple Bric-a-brac trim. The big girly bow would be funny and fun against the more sophisticate handbag if it was a more luxurious fabric. If the other trim was more luxurious or studded with Swarovski crystal or something, it would still have the irony, without cheapening the overall purse. At $540, not everyone gets the joke.
