The Backstory Behind Beyoncé's Guava Green Beaded Bag, and Where You Can Shop It

18/10/2021 - 05:54 PM

After impressing us all with her fancy wedding guest outfit [1] in Venice, Beyoncé traded in her crystal orb Marzook bag, which retails upwards of $2k, for a different kind of purse. This one, a hand-beaded mini tote in guava green, comes from NYC-based company Not Impressed [2]. The small business was started by Ev Tao [3] as a jewellery company in 2014, but after a trip to the bead market in her hometown Taipei, Taiwan, Tao shifted her focus to handbags, starting with the Tulipa silhouette [4]. She and her mom handcraft every made-to-order item, so there is no overstock or waste involved in their process.

Beyoncé's choice, the Mini Lady, retails for $325 and also comes in silver, custard, and cornflower blue. Bey worked hers with a fresh lemon-yellow, double-breasted suit from The Attico, incredible Lorraine Schwartz jewellery, patent pumps, and a Burberry trench coat thrown over her shoulders. Though she might have been leaving Venice by taxi boat, the bag brand [5] she just put on everybody's radar will certainly not slip our minds any time soon. Ahead, you can zoom in on the delicate piece, which also comes with a crossbody chain at time of purchase, then get familiar with Not Impressed and scope out the full site here [6].
