Marc Jacobs is one of those designers that continues to surprise us. Often he sets the trend with fashion forward, sophisticated accessories. And then he goes and creates something like this.
This USA shopper is nothing like those high-end accessories that make our hearts race. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad bag; it just shouldn’t be judged against so many other Marc Jacobs purses.
Its America map design is unashamedly kitschy. The designer marks out some of the United States’ most prominent cities, and illustrates them with the tourist attractions and landmarks that made these spots famous. Red trim and handles completes the patriotic look.
This tote is enormous, but simply designed. Don’t go expecting pockets or even a lining. The zip top closure saves it from being completely basic, but it’s a small gesture. The lack of organizational aids would frustrate me in an everyday purse, but I imagine this shopper would make a great gym bag or beach tote.
This USA tote reminds me of the kind of carryalls sold at rest stops along the highway. And honestly, if you found one there it’d probably cost less than $49.99. But remember this is Marc Jacobs, and that prestigious name makes this shopper is a real bargain!
