Maison Martin Margiela has an aesthetic that is impossible to predict and growing in popularity. He has managed to combine minimalism and experimentalism in a way that is somehow accessible to a wide audience. This clutch is a fabulous, and bizarre, example.
I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around the appearance of this bag. It looks like a plastic-aluminum candy wrapper, but it’s made out of patent leather. I literally cannot fathom how they managed to make the leather that shiny, but it is simply extraordinary.
The shape is also amazing. Earlier today I really didn’t know that I wanted a handbag shaped like disposable packaging, but now I’m not sure that I can live without it. It’s so tongue-in-cheeky and perfectly rendered and also quite pretty at the same time. I’m hooked. The serrated edges are the piece de resistance. And, it’s even lined in silver!
The only thing I don’t like about the bag, besides the $1,035 price tag is the size. It’s just a little too big to carry comfortably when full. Honestly, though, if I had the money, I’d just deal with the discomfort.
