Marc by Marc Jacobs “Posh Turnlock Convertible Tote”

I came across this bag while I was searching for something perky, and even though this one doesn’t quite fit that criterion, I found it worth spending some time to post about it. Marc Jacobs is totally unpredictable, I mean, there’s no way you’ll ever be able to tell what he will come up with next. He has released so many products in various styles recently, but that’s still nothing in comparison to what’s yet to come from him, mark my words.

What I’m trying to say is that this is pretty much a very simple looking bag, too simple for something coming from the Marc Jacobs collection. Very simple would usually translate into Tina liking the bag very much, but this time Tina does not like it at all unfortunately. I’d rather go for a Quilted Colorblock Pochette, which I, by the way, dislike for many, many reasons. This one is so plain, I’d almost go so far as to label it a fug. It looks as if someone polished the life out of it trying to make the leather look decent and then half the way through the process they realized it leads nowhere and left it looking greasy. It’s a definite no-no, but that doesn’t neccesarily mean I don’t see anything good about it. I do like and the vintage feel that the gold twist lock closure and the way the flap top is implemented create. The point is, there is so much perfectly delicious arm candy created by Marc Jacobs out there that this one simply doesn’t stand a chance in my book. I would never try to convince you not to like it if you find it attractive, but I’d also never encourage you to buy it - if you like it, you like it, I just don’t.
