Yesterday, I found myself a little depressed about the terrible Marc Jacobs sequined bag I reviewed. It’s hard when a designer that you rely on to be amazing lets you down. I feel much better today, and it’s due in no small part to the casual fabulousness of this striped leather bag.
The colorful woven fabric material that makes up this bag is what initially won me over. I love the rich, but subtly muted color palette. The woven pattern gives it a bohemian look which contrasts with the overall military-inspired vibe of the bag.
This is a small, practically-shaped bag that has a lot of utilitarian features. The long, canvas shoulder strap is totally adjustable, so you can shorten it to carry over your shoulder and lengthen it to wear it cross body. The front flap secures with a fabulous brown leather strap and gold buckle that opens onto the frill-free interior. Usually I would complain about the bag’s lack of internal organizing pockets, but on a purse this small, pockets would just take up space.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Marc Jacobs bag this reasonably-priced. At only $260, they’re practically giving it away! And I don’t mind if I do take one.
