As the weather cools we’re all starting to rug up, and it seems so are our handbags! This Maison Martin Margiela Shearling Shoulder Bag looks like it’s well and truly ready for winter!
The simply designed black leather bag is given some personality with fuzzy shearling trim and handles. They’re interesting accents, but I don’t really get them. Perhaps it comes from living in Australia, but I associate this fabric with comfy slippers worn at home rather than luxury fashions.
I might not mind a bit of shearling on a bargain basement bag, but not on a purse that costs almost $1500. For that price I expect real luxury, and I personally think this cozy look is far from that. What do you think?
Strip away the external shearling and this isn’t a bad bag, even if it is a little boring. The shearling lined compartment will feel lovely to use. Perhaps you could even hide your hands inside it if you forget your gloves! This generously sized space probably needs more than the single zippered pocket to stay organized, but at least we’ve got somewhere to hide our valuables.
For this price though, I don’t want to make excuses and forgive missteps. I want something fabulous, and this shoulder bag just doesn’t cut the mustard.
