Marc Jacobs has an eclectic design sensibility that appeals to a wide variety of women. When he does edgy, it’s always refined enough to be tasteful, and when he does cute, it’s never precious. This Madder Carmine tote is a great example of a cute bag that doesn’t look like it was made for a six year-old.
The deep eggplant-y purple of this bag contrasts well with the red kiss print. The nice thing about this print is that while it’s enough to be noticeable, the dark print isn’t overdone. It also has an abstract quality that makes it look not quite as cutesy as it could.
The traditional tote shape is a good pick for this print. A more complicated shape would have made this bag way too busy. I usually don’t condone buying cotton tote bags that cost more than $100, but this one has a few things going for it that make it okay with me. For one thing, it is fully lined, and for another it has super cute details like the knotted strap and side pockets.
The Madder Carmine isn’t really a great buy at $180, but if I had the cash I would still snap it up.
