Bags featuring artistic prints are right on trend for this current season. If you love the look and luxury consider this Maison Martin Margiela Cherry Blossom Bag.
Many artistic totes print their patterns on canvas or cotton, so it’s lovely to see this lush leather alternative. The landscape has a distinctly Japanese look with its majestic mountains and blooming cherry blossom trees. The colors are gorgeous but striking, so you’ll need to wear neutrals to make this tote look its best.
What a shame this gorgeous print doesn’t reach the back though. I guess some may argue that the plain white leather found here almost gives you two bags in one, but I tend to disagree. All I can see is that in time you’ll have a bag which stuns from the front, but looks grubby and boring behind.
The interior is also a little disappointing. It’s got space to spare, but Maison Martin Margiela doesn’t offer the organizational features we need to really make the most of all that room. There’s a white zippered pouch which loops onto the inside. It’s a unique storage sack to be sure, but it’s just not really enough to satisfy me.
These missteps make me balk at the $1395 asking price. Once a bag steps over the four-figure mark, I want perfection and this sadly falls short no matter how lovely it looks.
