Perhaps it’s the recession, but it seems like embellished bags are really making a comeback. Not the ultra-blingy ostentatious kind, but understated bags with a little something extra like this one.
Olive green is kind of unusual as far as evening bag colors go, and there’s something refreshing about the color choice alone. It’s neutral enough that it will go with almost everything, and it will look particularly nice with this season’s nudes.
The leather gathers softly towards the center of this simple frame bag, and is accented with a giant raw emerald. There’s something very retro about the look of this clutch, although I can’t place the era precisely. The bag itself looks a little bit 80s, while the embellishment looks a little more 40s deco. Let’s call it pan-vintage.
Honestly, for $545 this bag isn’t really cutting it for me. I like it, but it lacks coherence. It has a lot of interesting elements that just don’t seem to be hanging together entirely. I would wait for the next quirky Marni offering if I were you.
