I used to be Marc Jacobs’ biggest fan, but lately I just don’t get what he’s up to. Everything looks cheap and gimmicky and totally not anywhere near the classic American Marc Jacobs aesthetic. The Fast Bag is a pretty perfect example of what I mean.
Marc Jacobs is known for his cutting edge, trendsetting designs, but sometimes he pulls a little hip-to-be-square out of his repertoire. This Ukita shoulder bag is the perfect example of Jacobs in nerd chic mode.
If you look up “handbag” in the dictionary, this is the bag you’re going to see. It looks like the bag my grandmother carried from like 1979 until 1991. My grandmother isn’t exactly the pinnacle of cutting edge fashion, but she’s no slouch either. And she definitely knows a long-lasting, high quality bag when she sees one. I’d say that the Ukita would fit her bill, for sure.
The soft, supple leather is a medium brown that is neutral enough to go with everything. The style of the bag is also neutral enough to go with everything. Provided that your wardrobe has a lot of really cute geek chic in it, of course. The Ukita’s versatility depends on whether your style is conservative enough to support it.
I, for one, love the traditional shape and fold over flap design, and if I had a closet full of stripey Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses, this would be my go-to bag, but honestly, given my edgy, black-loving ways, I just don’t think I could find a place for it. I think a lot of urbanistas will find they have the same problem, despite the practicality of the bag.
