Forget about looking pretty in pink; Marc Jacobs helps us feel beautiful in blue with this striking I Work for Tips Shoulder Bag.
I don’t mind saying that I’m smitten by this purse. Its bold electric blue color turned my head, but its retro details maintain interest. I love the gentle contrast between the matte calfskin panels and the textured exotic ones. Marc Jacob’s delicate silver hardware is super chic, and its flap-over design timeless.
The I Work for Tips isn’t made for career girls, as it’s not big enough for holding a laptop or any other series technology. But it’s a decent size for everyday use, with enough space for a wallet, essential cosmetics, and the other items contemporary girls can’t bear to part with.
Most retro bags come with a top handle. These carrying options look cute, but they’re not very practical in the modern world. I don’t think the longer shoulder strap undermines the I Work for Tips’ retro appeal, and it’s much more functional.
As it comes from the designer’s more affordable Marc by Marc Jacobs line, the I Work for Tips purse is a steal at $398. For that price, any working girl should be able to indulge!
