I love the way Marc Jacobs interprets trends, old and new, and then reinvigorates them in modern downtown designs. Bags like this perfect pony skin bag are just what I’m talking about.
There has been a major rush lately for quilted bags. All those Chanel caviar bags have been making a comeback in a major way, and spawning rip offs from Bergdorf’s to Kmart. This quilted bag, though, looks more like its doing its own thing. I have really never seen quilted pony skin, and certainly in not in an eyepopping shade like this fabulous fuchsia.
The square shape of the bag works perfectly with the square quilted pattern, and I also really like the way the square push clasps in the corners of the top flap mimic the overall square theme. The exposed zipper around the bottom of the bag is pure genius. Not only does it look good, but it allows you to expand the size of the bag, for days when you need just a tad more room. And, all the bright gold tone hardware accents and chain strap contrast beautifully with the cool hot pink hue.
I’m just crazy for this bag, and part of the reason is that while I can see elements that Jacobs has borrowed from the past and present, he’s combined them in a way that looks uniquely of the moment, not to mention uniquely Marc Jacobs.
