This Marc Jacobs leather frame bag is being toted by Net-a-Porter as one of fall’s biggest IT bags. Sounds like a lot of trumped-up talk over a simple–elegant and classy–but still relatively basic bag. The frame satchel-shaped bag is quite lovely, but it isn’t as ornate as I’d expect of something with such coined-praise (aside from the symmetrical horizontal piping). The word hasn’t gotten out, either; I haven’t seen this bag elsewhere. That doesn’t mean, with its hand-braided leather strap and gold hardware, it’s not worth the $1,350 price tag (if any bag is, I mean). Certainly the trendy teal could raise its appeal. And it’s also not to say I don’t like its subtly refined design. Also available in luxe, professional black; it could be a business-woman’s bag at its perfect size.
