Marc Jacobs takes us from day to night with this gorgeous Karlie purse from his affordable Marc line.
The Karlie’s fresh spring green color initially turned my head. Marc Jacobs calls it lime, but I don’t think that description does it justice. It doesn’t have that acidic citrus hue to it, and the color’s much sweeter for it. It’s also much more versatile. While lime assaults the senses this green is playful but still pleasant.
The Karlie is a modern version of the traditional flap-over purse. Its silhouette is sumptuously slouchy, emphasizing the quality of the leather and giving it a versatile day to night appeal. It’s relaxed enough to be casual, but also made from the kind of quality materials that never look out of place.
Adding to the versatility is that chain and leather strap, which can be removed if you prefer to carry the Karlie as a clutch. I’d probably leave it on much of the time as it makes this sizable purse much easier to manage, but a few carrying options are always appreciated.
At $258 the Karlie is relatively affordable, so you needn’t worry about how easily green can work with your wardrobe. If you’re still concerned though you can always opt for the more predictable and boring beige.
