Marc Jacobs SS 14 Handbags

Goth and Victorian influences, against a very 'dystopian' setting enveloped Marc Jacob's SS 14 collection. But what caught my eyes most were the arm-candies, that were so unlike what I have seen around this season -- not a hint of the sculptural trapeze or boxy graffiti.

The hobo bags had fringe details at the main seam, and the body was created out of knitted jacquard. Leather details and golden hardware finished off these very chic bags that are so so apt for stashing the never ending brigade of women's essentials this summer.

The first one out of the surfer bags shown above had appliqued leafs, the second one embroidered floral motifs -- both finished off with tassel details.

These surfer bags were crafted out of alligator leather and  mixed media, and I love how the juxtaposition of appliqued and sequinned floral patches work so well against the base of the bag. Marc's collection was inspired by The Burning Man and Paul McCarthy's White Snow.
