Marc Jacobs Small Gilda Handbag

Leave it to Marc Jacobs to design something that might sound ridiculous as an idea (leather, plastic sequins, fox and raccoon fur… oh my!) but ended up looking so beautiful, almost whimsical. This is definitely a very very chic bag to carry around and appropriate from brunch to dinner, even to a formal evening event IMO. The small Gilda is the only glamorous accessory you need for this season but with so many other equally beautiful bags to choose from Marc Jacobs’ collection this season, it is going to be hard to stop at one. Think of it as the season to pile up on Marc Jacobs bags. Does that sound crazy? The small Gilda is up to grab at Nordstrom for USD1,995.

Marc Jacobs Camille Satchel

There are just many many gorgeous Marc Jacobs bags to sing about for this season. Finally Fall is here! To kick off the “concert”, is Camille. I am not sure who Camille Marc Jacobs named this bag after but all those vintage attributes such as the glazed leather, structured shape of a classic bag and slightly tarnished golden hard wares are really irresistible. Think of it as a bag you could pass down to your offspring, given if it is properly maintained, of course. At USD1,850 from Nordstrom, the Camille is among the best bags to buy I have seen this season.

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010

The Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010 collection is easily one of the best collections I have seen over the past few seasons. There is a certain depth and familiarity (the review in style.com called it “Emotion”) that took center stage of this collection. Gone is the glam and superficiality of the fashionable but less wearable pieces from his Spring/Summer 2010 collection, replaced by pieces that are classic and understated. The bags, are also without doubt, one of the best collections I have seen over the past few seasons. It is nice to know that despite having been in the circle for about two decades and on top of his career heights, Marc Jacobs still has that depth inside of him. I am giving this collection a 10 out of 10.
