Marc Jacobs The Ace messenger Bag, $1150 by means of Net-a-Porter
My enthusiasm for the Marc Jacobs The Ace messenger Bag comes from one thing and one thing alone: My ability to imagine it in other colors. Not that there’s anything wrong with greige, per se, but I like the statement-making ability of a good bright bag, particularly when it offsets the tendency for a crossbody to hide within an outfit because of its normal place on the back of a woman’s hip. because Jacobs nearly always makes his leather bags in multiple colors, I depend on that a bright version is forthcoming. and if it isn’t, it must be.
What Jacobs was able to capture in this bag is the luxurious simplicity that has made the line an accessories success in the past. The Jacobs signatures are there, like the gold lock hardware, but mostly the lines of the bag speak for themselves with relatively little unnecessary adornment. based on the Net-a-Porter modeling shots and photos of the opening of the bag, it looks like it’s a very beneficial size without being too big, and I could see myself using it in a lot of situations. So it’s your step on the brighter color options, Mr. Jacobs. get through Net-a-Porter for $1150.
