Dear Bagistas,

Some bags scream look at me – they’re bold in color, rich in hardware, loaded with patent shine or all of the above. Others blend into the background – they’re neutral in shade, lack excess embellishment and don’t venture into uncharted silhouettes. And then there are those in between that bring on compliments and gazes based on sheer uniqueness, a hint of something fresh, and an artistic touch. Marni Acrylic detail clutch fits into the later grouping. The shape, nothing new – a simple frame, coin-purse-like style clutch. The soft, graphite grey color doesn’t immediately catch they eye either. It’s about the little acrylic and multicolor bead that accents the clutch. What is it? Upon first look, I saw a butterfly. Now, I think it’s falling flower petals. The detailing isn’t grand, but it will keep your girlfriends in conversation wondering, “Where did you get that clutch?” I’m certain many will not purchase this clutch. For one, it is expensive for today’s market. And two, not everyone will get how or when to wear it. For those who can afford and do get this stroke of bag-a-licious genius send pictures. (Buy Marni at NET-A-PORTER, $545)
 

Have a bag-a--licious day!
