Marc Jacobs does bright leather accessories like no other designer. Somehow they manage to be both trend-setting and modern, but also classic and ladylike. And this gorgeous new Fleet bag is definitely in keeping with that particular Marc Jacobs tradition.
The shape is so classic it’s almost retro. It reminds me of the cordovan leather Aigner bag that my grandmother carried in the 70’s and 80’s. My grandmother, though, never rocked the bag in grape colored crinkle patent leather. The contrast between the very conservative character of the bag and the shockingly bright color makes it absolutely fabulous.
The top flap of the bag fastens with the signature Marc Jacobs closure, which, in silver tone, complements the cool purple hue of the bag beautifully. The leather strap is nice and wide, just how I like them, and it fastens to the bag with adorable oversized silver-tone and grape enamel buttons.
This is a great bag for edgy women looking for a little more ladylike touch, or a lady looking to add a punch of color to her wardrobe.
