A gold leather bag might not seem like the most practical thing for a closet, but its versatility might actually surprise you. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Mag Bag is a great example of an everyday handbag created with a dressy metallic sheen. Its ability to take you from day to night makes this purse an indispensable member of a wardrobe.
Like the Quinn bag, the Mag tote is one of the many Marc by Marc Jacobs handbags from the popular Totally Turnlock line. The large exterior pouch on the tote features the signature turnlock closure. The double handles are detailed with silver studs and attached to the handle anchors with pretty silver rings, another signature Totally Turnlock feature.
Soft leather is an appropriate handbag material for all seasons, but the Mag also comes in a trendy patent leather that’s great for fall and winter. The patent looks sleek in black with silver accents. My favorite part of this Marc by Marc Jacobs tote, though, is the optional crossbody strap. The detachable long leather strap is one of the reasons the Mag handbag takes you from day to evening so well. Wearing it messenger-style gives the bag a casual, hands-free look; detach the strap and carry it with the classic double shoulder handles to accessorize a dressier outfit.
You won’t be short on storage options either with this Marc Jacobs bag. In addition to the exterior pouch, the Mag has a deep and roomy interior with three pockets. The lining features the signature black-and-white Marc by Marc Jacobs jumbled letter canvas. Inside, you’ll also find an engraved silver plate with the designer’s logo. The versatile leather Mag handbag retails for $398, and you can get the patent leather version for right at $400.
