Marc Jacobs has, in the past decade, made American fashion more noticeable on the world stage. Celebrities, socialites, and everyday women alike love his signature styles and intuitive sense of what women want to wear. This Garbo clutch is a pared down accessory that is sure to become an instant classic.
The textured tan leather is chic and casual at the same time. It’s kind of misleading to call it textured, as the crackled embossing has been smoothed out and buffed up to a high gloss. The effect is glamorous in the low impact way that Jacobs is known for.
The fabulous envelope shape is transformed on the Garbo. The pronounced seaming gives it an almost origami-like look that would be hard on its own, but which is softened up by the rounded corners and the rounded front flap.
The intricate clasp and padlock is another genius touch. The tan of the Garbo makes it look classic and somewhat conservative, but the padlock gives the look a tinge of edginess. Although I’m the kind of girl that lives in black and seldom falls for a brown leather bag, the Garbo has really won me over with its combination of street smarts and high design.
