Marc by Marc Jacobs’ runway fashion bags tend not to make known a great deal about what the whole fashion accessories line spirit look like when it comes out. For his diffusion line, Jacobs usually only reveals one or two shapes or ideas in the hands of his models; as you all fine know by now, the eventual trade line will contain dozens of shapes, sizes and colors in a litany of different sub-lines. Some will be memorable, others will be totally new, but at slightest a few of them will throw me into a panic, all at a price point that stays below $600.
Most of those Fashion Bags don’t discover their way onto the runway, and Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 marks yet another fashion season in which we’ll have to wait to see the best of Marc’s handbags. What was showed on the runway was fine, but not stirring; the numerical shape is one that’s easily locatable from low-cost brands, and the iteration covered in round studding seemed a bit late on the tendency.
