The Purse Blog has compiled some fabulous pictures of the new Marc Jacobs bags seen on the runway at Fashion Week. Though the models and the clothes usually get the most attention, this new handbag collection has a personality that stands out on its own.
Without a doubt, the quirky designer put his individual stamp on these new purses. Although some have likened Jacobs’ use of quilted bags to Chanel’s signature look, I personally don’t see any resemblance to the ultra formal and uptown look of Chanel.
This collection puts a new spin on the quilted look as well as other materials. The pieces have a funky 80s vibe with big, showy details and lots of texture.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Marc Jacobs and always look forward to his next collection of bags. These might be too showy for some, but surely other faithful followers of the designer are as pleased as I am with this new look.
