A brief glance at this Python and Nappa shoulder bag.. part of KD2024’s “WILDLUXE” collection, which the manufacturers say was “inspired by the world of nature, shapes and geometry” …may give you the heebie-jeebies. And for good reason. Let’s be honest here, folks: this thing is “CREEPTASTIC” and it’s $2509.00!
It’s as if the designers took a sleek, traditional designer bag and mauled it with a tractor-trailer… or perhaps fed it to a strange species of bird, that unfortunately then wrapped itself around a telephone pole and got bent out of shape. AFGG said, “It looks like it went through a shredder”.
This isn’t to imply that the Python and Nappa shoulder bag is inelegantly constructed. To the contrary, its ornamentations, asymmetries, dazzling feathered features all make the bag seem like it was put together by some cosmic genius witch from the far future, who designs bags while sipping potent potions she brews up in a cauldron.
Look: a shoulder bag is a shoulder bag is a shoulder bag. And, in a way, this one is no different. It’s made out of sturdy materials with a zipper pouch to carry basically anything. And KD2024 is an established, reputable, international designer with lots of personality rich contraptions. Typical pieces feature “extremely detailed oversized rings, bright natural stones, complex bracelets, [and] horn and elephant jaw pendants” – each hand carved.
They’re aiming for a “dirty look” that seems to shoot for the “I’m-going-to-get-a-boatload-of-tattoos-and-wear-black-but-not-in-a-downscale-way” thing. In other words, KD2024 does not appear to be about crude rebellion, but rather manic attention to a dismal fashion archetype.
Do you need to smoke cigarettes and date men from obscure corners of Europe to pull off this look? Probably. But if you’re going to shell out hard earned money for a bag, perhaps you might opt for something less offensive and roadkill-esque.One thing for sure, if you buy this thing: you’ll definitely get some comments on it! A Few Goody Gumdrops wishes to thank Adam Harris for his edgy critique of this bag. Click the green link to indulge this very unique bag! S/S 2011 NEW COLLECTIONS at LUISAVIAROMA
