While Marc Jacobs is definitely one of my favorite designers, lately the Marc by Marc Jacobs line has left me feeling a little cold. Most of the bag designs are good, but they keep crudding them up with a bunch of logos. I know that some people like that sort of thing, I just don’t happen to be one of them.
This bag is a good example of what I’m talking about. The soft, lush great velvet is a fabulous material, and the smooth patent leather bow contrasts with it nicely, but the stamped Marc Jacobs logo is really distracting. I wish they would have gone with a quilted velvet, instead.
Actually, I’m not really sure about a couple things on this bag. There seems to be too many bows on the front, and I just cant tell whether the smaller ones are meant to look like bows or flowers, and for some reason, I find that really irritating.
It’s also a little shapeless for my taste. I mean, it looks fine in the picture because it’s all stuffed with tissue, but it just isn’t going to look that way in reality. After you fill it full of your personal things, I have a feeling it might look a bit lumpy.
Overall, I just don’t think this bag is very well executed, and I expect a lot more from Marc Jacobs.
