Marc by Marc Jacobs Cat Leather Shoulder Bag | Cute and Quirky Brown Leather Handbag With Patchwork Cat Applique

Posted on: Oct 3

48750 in dl Marc Jacobs is known for dipping into yesteryear to find inspiration, but he always seems to make it look current.

This Cat bag has a distinctly throwback 1970s quality to it, but also resonates with the current craft-style fashion movement. The deep brown leather and patchwork-style cat applique are both crafty and cute, but not so precious that you couldn't carry the bag and still feel like a grown up.

I love the shape of the bag. It reminds me of my childhood, and it always fits so nicely under the arm and against the body. I love the muted rich color palette; it's perfect for fall, and a little bit refreshing in this season's obsession with blacks and grays.

The price, at $450, isn't bad, either. This is definitely worthwhile if you have a dedicated vintage sensibility.
