Marc by Marc Jacobs Posh Turnlock Hobo | Large Yellow Patent Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 31

Marc Jacobs hit gold with his Turnlock series of bags. The popular collection ranges from satchels to clutches and offers just about every color you can possibly think of for a purse. If you can imagine it, it's probably available in Turnlock.

That's why it was no surprise to me to run across this sunshine yellow hobo from the Posh Turnlock line. It isn't a color I normally gravitate to, but it is intriguing and eyecatching. The lemon drop tone covers the entire bag from top to bottom and is only broken up by two pieces of hardware.

The gunmetal accents include the expected turnlock closure, which also displays the signature logo, and a decorative chain which hangs down the front of the Posh hobo. I find myself a bit bemused about the chain since it seems that it should function in some way. However, in reality, it serves no purpose but to add a little bling to the bag. Perhaps I would like it more if it were a tad shorter. Personally, I can see myself getting it caught on a doorknob or tangled on my arm, but that probably doesn't hold true for everyone. Less clumsy women might find it to be a nice addition to the handbag.

The patent leather has a nice crinkled texture that shines and picks up the brightness of the yellow. If the lemon color is too garish for you, this Marc by Marc Jacobs is also available in a deep indigo and a neutral mouse-colored brown. The turnlock on the top flap is the closure for the hobo, and opens to reveal a fun polka dot lining. The Posh Turnlock hobo retails for $428.
