Martin Margiela has been accused of being sort of a designer’s designer. In other words, sometimes his designs are only appealing to people heavy into fashion. Personally, I disagree with this assessment, and find his minimal, edgy aesthetic very attractive, but in any case, this ruched metallic clutch is definitely a crossover item with broader appeal than some of his other pieces.
The silvery metallic treatment on this leather is amazing. It has an almost holographic effect. From certain angles it looks black, but from others, it is definitely silver. The leather is smooth and soft, but it looks slightly weathered and cracked, which makes for a very interesting evening statement bag.
The shape is unusual, as well. It’s somewhat pouch-like, but the asymmetric ruching gathers the leather and gives the whole bag a very sculptural look. This is the kind of bag that will be noticeable without being blingy or over-the-top. I can see it working well with a simple columnular evening gown or dressed down with jeans.
At $965, it’s a little pricey for a small evening bag, but it’s so singular that it will look current and modern for years to come.
