This Double Strap Satchel from Maison Martin Margiela is the kind of bag I fall for even though I know it’s no good for me.
It’s so massive I’m bound to get lost in it. It’ll dwarf my frame, and prove difficult to manage. There’s only the cowl pocket up front and one zippered pocket inside after all, so I’ll spend most of my time rifling around for my ringing cell phone and car keys.
And while that icy white calfskin looks stunning now, it won’t for long. I’d try to keep it away from dirt and grime of course, but stains always have a way of finding such pristine leathers.
Yet despite all the reasons why I should resist, I’m still drawn to this Maison Martin Margiela satchel. It slouches in all the right places, looking luxuriously languorous rather than slovenly. The long handle and even longer shoulder strap give us real carrying versatility.
I almost convince myself that I could make it work, and then I see the $1315 price tag. It’s not the most expensive handbag around, but that’s more than I want to spend on a purse which will look like a grimy mess before long, no matter how beautiful it is now!
