Marc Jacobs is one of those rare designers that always surprises. Sometimes he’s creating colorful, whimsical accessories, and on other occasions we see him taking a more traditional route. However with Marc Jacobs, traditional is never a euphemism for tired. This House of Marc satchel is the embodiment of modern elegance.
Just like the little black dress, the mid-sized black bag is a wardrobe essential. This House of Marc satchel fits the bill, with its clean lines and gently grained black leather. The golden hardware makes the satchel feel richer, and gives it some individuality. I really like the hexagonal studs on the straps, and the turn-lock closures on the side pockets. I probably could have done without the nameplate, as it really interrupts the design, but it’s small enough that I can forgive it.
The House of Marc satchel isn’t enormous, but it should be adequate for holding all the things we really need. Personally I find carrying a bag on the smaller side to be a plus, as I’m not tempted to fill it with items that will only weigh me down. And with less space taken up with clutter, it’s easier to lay your hand on the things you need.
This satchel’s already enticing, but the price is the clincher. At $498, this Marc Jacobs bag is very affordable considering the years of faithful service it promises.
