Those of you who know me well know that I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs bags. In fact, a beautiful black and brown leather MJ bowler was my first high-end handbag purchase, and my life hasn't been quite the same since. It pains me to say this, but MJ: your bag-on-bag leather and sequin robert tote is a complete atrocity.
Let's dissect and start out on a good note: the color is lovely. The deep ruby red is enough to make any girl click together her ballet flats and declare that there's no place like home. In addition...ok, I have to stop there. I cannot think of another positive thing to say about this eyesore.
The bag-on-bag action, while trying to be edgy and fashion-forward, accomplishes nothing but making me consider joining PETA in an attempt to retroactively save the cows that were sacrificed to create it. The handle is far too short, and the sequins are glitzy enough to induce anyone into an epileptic seizure.
MJ, I'm sorry to be so hard on you. Forget trying to create new trends (although I do have to give you credit for the stam), and go back to the basics that made you famous in the first place.

Shannah, you're absolutely right. This bag is just..wrong, just so wrong. Why, MJ, why?
I may use this website instead of the NYT as my homepage.
Don't hate on MJ! Maybe he dropped the ball with this bag, but MJ will come through
P.S. Shannah you are the most insightful bag blogger i know! You are fierce!
