When Marc Jacobs does glam, it’s never in an ostentatious way. His designs have a refined, vintage appeal that makes them seem touchable, even on the red carpet. This Alexis clutch has exactly that quality of design. It’s gorgeous and elegant without being too flashy.
The combination of materials on this clutch is really what makes it genius. The smooth-grained black leather is the perfect textural contrast to the gold sequins. Together you have the best of both worlds: refined elegance and chic bling. The geometric central clasp ties the textures together beautifully. It has the smoothness of the leather, but the golden shine of the sequins.
The overall shape of the Alexis is pretty standard, but the details keep it interesting. The flap front closure has a triangular notch missing from it, which creates a geometric look that balances out the soft, pouchy look of the sequined part of the bag.
The Alexis has such a cool vibe that it could just as easily work with an evening gown as with jeans and spiky motorcycle boots. For $1,095 you get a very special occasion bag that can handle even not-so-special occasions, and it’s not often that you find a bag that can do double duty with such style.
