There’s nothing as disappointing as when one of your favorite designers comes up with something that you think is totally unoriginal. Then you have to begin to question your own taste and wonder whether they were ever original at all.
Not that I would ever wonder those things about Marc Jacobs. I think he’s pretty much proven himself to be a complete genius over the years. Well, I guess even geniuses have off days, because this bag looks like it walked straight out of a Chanel store circa 1992. Seriously, it looks so much like a Chanel caviar bag that if you just threw a double C logo on it, I’m pretty sure it would fool anyone.
All that being said, the bag is still cute, and there’s no way you could walk out of a Chanel store with a bag like this for $575. The color is, as far as I’m concerned, what really makes this bag work. The Single has both a chain and a leather strap, so you can carry it on your wrist or sling it over your shoulder. The 8″ x 6″ x 2″ is perfect for a night on the town when you don’t need to carry much with you.
The metallic fuchsia quilted leather manages to look both brilliantly offbeat and a little elegant at the same time. It would be the perfect complement to a simple black dress or even something really loud and crazy. So, despite its lack of complete and total singularity, The Single is a hot designer bag at a decent price.
