Marc Jacobs is really killing me with the new summer collection. I have seriously loved almost every single bag, and I think that this safari-inspired collection makes for a really interesting counterpart to the line’s usually more clean-edged style.
I really love the material of this clutch. It is composed of a supple red quilted calfskin interwoven with an intricate design made of strips of gunmetal and bronze leather. And the leather bell-shaped tassels that seem to be one of this season’s signatures add a fabulous quirky touch to the overall look of the bag.
At 9″ x 6″ x 2″, this clutch is plenty big enough for a night on the town, but smaller than a lot of the spring clutches. Honestly, I’m pretty happy about that, because I find lugging around a hugely oversized clutch uncomfortable. The interior is lined with rich, lustrous navy satin that contrasts beautifully with the exterior’s color scheme.
Happily, the padlock is a purely decorative touch, and the top flap hides a magnetic snap closure. I love the look of the padlock, but who needs to fiddle with itsy-bitsy keys every time you need to get in your purse? The gold tone of the lock adds a lovely bit of bling to an otherwise earthy look.
At $695, the Runway Clutch is pretty reasonably priced for the designer realm. Although it’s not cheap, it’s affordable enough that it might just fly off the shelves.
