Marc Jacobs Paradise Rio Bowler

Great new bag from Marc Jacobs. It’s not terribly exciting but for the girl who buys the one Marc Jacobs every couple of years, this is a staple that is also current. Those links at the base of the straps are what caught my eye, it’s chunky but not overdone for the right amount of emphasis. The side zippers aren’t functional but the slit does allow for external pockets. He built his base on suburbanites looking for a functional bag with some name recognition and I respect that he recognizes that. Not that I’m diminishing this bag in any way but like I said, this isn’t a runway look but in a good way. At Barneys New York for $995.

  1. I love the shape of this bag! Hopefully, it will come in some brighter colors . . . I have a magenta Marc bag from a few years ago that I carry all the time. The shape is really basic and utilitarian, but the color makes it stand out. Like you said, it’s not a runway bag, but then again, everyone needs an everyday bag.

  2. Lovely. I am so glad to see the return of anti “It” bags. This bag can be worn for years to come and never look dated. I am not a fan of black bags so I hope that it will eventually come out in other colors.
