2. Drawstring Reticule Styles
Bringing back the Regency era? Got a long-awaited invitation to Jane Austen festival in Australia? Whatever it is, the modern renditions of reticule pouches by the leading fashion designers certify their being so versatile and multifunctional. Your liability is just to narrow down your essentials into the most necessary – a juicy lipstick, who-is-the-fairest-in-land mirror and your iPhone to stay in touch. The fall/ winter 2016-2017 handbag trends are churning out these drawstring stunners in all materials, with any embellishments and most importantly, within any lifestyle.
We see them in delicate velvet, with floral embroidery and a metallic chain around the wrist in Alberta Ferretti’s boudoir collection and in different fabrics with loop handles at Giorgio Armani’s elegant runway show. Then it is all about a matter of taste whether to opt for Alexander Wang’s suede versions with metallic polka dots or a not-so-sacred leather one covered with marijuana leaves. Check out Lanvin as well, for more ravishing versions, Elie Saab and DSquared2 to be poured with tassels or Nina Ricci for pretty ruffled reticules, suggestive of aromatic flowers.
