Marc Jacobs is doing it again. Being the designer that makes something beautifully off-kilter that every woman suddenly wants, I mean. His ingenuity I’m used to, but if you had told me it would come in the form of arts & crafts style heart appliques, I would not have believed you. Still, the Love Story Collection is born.
But, it turns out, that the result of this DIY-driven impulse is deliciously, well, confectionary. Some people might call it a little too sweet, or even precious, but, personally, I find the combination of the textures (from snakeskin to patent) with the bright punchy pink refreshing.
The 11″ x 6.5″ x 2″ size makes it fit in with oversized trends, but it clearly stands out for other reasons. In a sea of black and boho, it won’t be hard to get noticed with this fuscia attention-grabber. It has all the marks of the quality we’ve come to expect from the Marc Jacobs line: detailed craftsmanship, gorgeous materials, and the teensy-weeniest gold logo stamp.
I will be the first to admit that the Big Heart Zip Clutch isn’t going to be for everyone, but I don’t think it’ll be just the girly girls sporting these. I think it would go perfectly with a black, big-skirted party dress a la Betsey Johnson, and some edgy rocker ankle boots. But it would be just as at home in a wardrobe full of Juicy Couture. And at $795, it isn’t exactly cheap, but it is definitely reasonable for a piece from the Marc Jacobs Collection.
