Oh dear.
We all understand exactly how much I like Marc Jacobs, which just makes everything the much more unfortunate when I dislike one of his bags. I’ve tried whatever that I understand exactly how to perform in purchase to persuade myself to like the Marc Jacobs Parachute Stam Bag, however I just can’t do it. I won’t do it.
Real talk: the material out of which this thing is made appears like what you’d get if tinfoil as well as a garbage bag had a baby. It appears like that’s exactly how it may feel, too. I type of want to touch it, just out of curiosity, however it’s totally synthetic – will it provide me a rash?
Ok, to ensure that may be a bit severe – I question that get in touch with with this bag will make me itchy. however still, when compared to all the Stam bags that came before it, this is a frustration from almost every angle. The bunchy, shiny material loses the lovely structure of the bag as well as the plasticky sheen makes it look like something that would come from permanently 21, not Saks fifth Avenue.
A bag or two constructed out of this material were discovered in the Spring/Summer 2010 runway show, so I figured they’d discover their method to stores eventually, however I just can’t get on board. At least Jacobs was conscientious sufficient to cost it less than a routine Stam. purchase with Saks for $995.
