The Marc by Marc Jacobs line is known for being trendier and somewhat more street smart than the designer’s main collection, but sometimes it releases traditionally beautiful bags like this one that almost everyone can appreciate. While I love the label’s usually edgy aesthetic, I’m happy to it offer something so versatile and affordable.
This tan color is all the rage this season. It sounds like I’m being sarcastic, but I’m not. Seriously, the colors I have written about most this season are tan and taupe. We must be in a recession if such neutral tones are what’s really hot right now. Anyhow, the color is spot on, and I love the antique effect that is created by the darkening around the edges.
The shape of the clutch is great. The envelope style is classic, but not played out. The unusual brass clasp upholds the vintage look, but it still appears contemporary enough to wear with modern styles. This is the kind of clutch that is versatile enough for day or night. I think it will work well with office styles, but it will also be a great casual evening bag. And at $300, the price makes the versatility of this clutch that much more attractive.
