I used to be Marc Jacobs’ biggest fan, but lately I just don’t get what he’s up to. Everything looks cheap and gimmicky and totally not anywhere near the classic American Marc Jacobs aesthetic. The fast bag is a pretty perfect example of what I mean.
First of all, how shiny is this bag? A little bit too if you ask me. And while I think it’s great that the metallics trend of 2005 has managed to hold on so long, it might be okay to let go of it a little bit. The material of this bag is just way too in-your-face for my taste. Not to mention the logos! Seriously, could they fit any more logos on this bag? Ugh.
I’m not trying to belittle anyone who’s really into shiny logoed bags; I know they have a fan club. But this version is just plain tacky. It’s supposed to be bowler style, but it looks more like a duffel bag. A shiny throwback duffel bag that even Jane Fonda would have eschewed in 1982 for something less ostentatious.
On the plus side, it’s generously-sized and reasonably-priced, and it’s made of genuine leather. So, if for $250 you really want a large, practically glow-in-the-dark Marc Jacobs advertisement hanging from your arm, you are in luck.
