Chloe’s line of Marcie bags were an instant hit when they debuted a few years ago. I’ve always been a fan, but like so many fine things, they seem to be getting better with age. This new version for Spring 2012 is bright and iconic.
This messenger version of the Marcie is a favorite of mine, although I don’t think it can be properly called a messenger. It lacks both the clunky squareness of a messenger and the size. What it has in common with a messenger is that it has a flap front closure and can be worn across the body. Still, it is generously sized and practically appointed.
I am so crazy about this new color that it’s hard for me to move on to other details. Luckily, Chloe has maintained the cool, tooled leather front of the bag, It’s added some more tassels to the front closure, which I don’t really think changes the style much for better or worse. Basically, it’s the same old Marcie in a new color, but that isn’t a bad thing. I only wish that this version had a hand strap in addition to the shoulder strap, which is, thankfully, adjustable.
At $1,295, the Marcie is high design with an equally high price tag, but in the long run it’s fairly priced for an investment bag that will inevitably have a long life.
