The Marc by Marc Jacobs line is usually ahead of the trends. But it also sometimes combines trends in a way that makes them palatable to a wide audience. The Pearlie is a perfect example of this.
The Pearlie combines the current trend of classic quilted leather bags with a pared down, minimal aesthetic. The shape of the bag is so simple that it seems almost boring. Honestly, it doesn’t really knock my socks off, but I appreciate its subtle charm, especially when you look close at the hexagonal quilting. The Pearlie looks simple, but there is a lot of detail behind it.
The off-white color makes it perfect for spring and summer styles, but I’m not sure how practical it is in the long run. I love a good beat up white leather bag, but the classic/minimal look of this bag doesn’t really lend itself well to wear and tear. In a few months I imagine that, instead of looking broken in, it will just look worn out.
The plus side is the price. At $250, you can use this bag for spring and summer and not feel bad stowing it away for the rest of the year. But you might want to take cleaning bills into account when figuring out whether it’s a good purchase for you.
