I can spot a Marc Jacobs bag from twenty feet away. Not because they’re flashy or have giant logos, but because his coyly feminine style is so recognizable. This Wellington bag is a great example of his uniquely American aesthetic.
The deep red of the leather on the Wellington is rich and lustrous. The gold hardware complements the warm tones of the bag and vice versa. The slight gloss on the material combined with the color scheme give it a vintage look.
The design of the bag is also retro-inspired. The shape is old fashioned, and it might even be a little stuffy looking if it weren’t for the sweet little details like the flap front and the tooled strap attachments. The Wellington is interesting also because it will work for conservative women and hipsters alike. It has sort of a hip to be square vibe that’s a little preppy, but hard to resist.
At $1,195, the price isn’t much of a surprise. It’s not great, but it could be higher for such a generous sized bag.
