Marc Jacobs accessory line always seems to work within a theme. The turnlock bags of the past few seasons are a good example. Now Jacobs seems obsessed with tassels, and they’re showing up on every other handbag in the line.
I can’t say I’ve always been a big fan of leather tassels. They remind me of penny loafers, which remind me of the preppy kids in high school who all dressed alike. Regardless, Marc Jacobs’ use of tassels, while it draws on preppy style, is definitely tongue-in-cheek about doing so.
The generously-sized, almost bowler shape of this satchel is way more interesting for showing off the eyelets and tassels than the smaller clutch version. Also, the rich dark brown leather provides an interesting contrast with the somewhat prissy details that keeps it cheeky. Honestly, though, I think the design team went a little overboard when they added the giant tassels to the sides of the bag. They’re just a little too much.
The chain and leather strap is just trendy enough to keep this offbeat combination of styles current, and it’s length makes it perfect for hand-holding or throwing over your shoulder. Overall, I think that while the compare and contrast styling of this bag won’t appeal to every women, the Dancer is going to find a lot of fans.
