Marc Jacobs has always been one of my favorite designers, but even I am totally blown away by this spectacular JJ clutch. It’s something between a work of art and a fashion accessory, and a lot of beautiful in between.
There is so much awesome going on on this clutch that I almost don’t know where to start. First of all, the stamped ivory patent material is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Instead of opting for a faux finish, the texture is more abstract, like a plate of melted gumballs, and it looks absolutely perfect. Then there’s the clearly spectacular starburst of acrylic gemstones exploding from the center of the JJ like a modernist sculpture.
Marc Jacobs kept the shape of the JJ nice and simple so that all these wonderful details could shine through, but the bag is not without its purely practical touches, like the sleek detachable gold strap and interior card pockets. Seriously, I have been looking for an evening bag with card pockets my whole life and that’s no lie. What could be more convenient?
Truthfully, I love the JJ so much that I wouldn’t care how much it cost, but for $750, I think it’s a total steal. Not because it’s classic and will go with everything, but because it’s a total collector’s item.
