Maison Martin Margiela knows how to take simple designs and make them extraordinary and iconic. It’s for this reason that he’s been able to develop a spotless reputation in the fashion world in a relatively short period of time. This large leather bag is a great example of his minimal aesthetic.
The taupe leather on this bag is the definition of neutral. If the design wasn’t so good, the color might seem boring, but since the whole spirit of the bag is this pared down aesthetic, it really works. The smoothness of the leather contributes to its versatility, and the cream cotton shoulder strap offers a subtle, but significant contrast.
What I really love about this bag is the shape. It’s a duffel, but an off-kilter one. It’s smaller and more angular than your average duffel and the zipper goes all the way around the bag, which makes it very convenient to get in and out of. The sturdy top handle and reasonable size make it perfect for an avant garde briefcase.
The price, at $1255, is higher than that of the rest of the Margiela line, but well worth it in terms of style.
