Marc Jacobs “Bamboo” Leather Shoulder Bag: Back and Better Than Ever

I loved the “Black Orchid” clutch edition of this bag, but I’m going to break a record with this shoulder version. I haven’t bought a Marc Jacobs bag in six years! But I seriously can’t wait to sling this over my shoulder. The liberating shoulder bag is the only thing I’m springing for these days. I’m getting more intolerant with age and will no longer mess with bags that require juggling – I want my hands free and unencumbered! Bags like the “Bamboo” are spoiling me. Simple but full of great details: three interior pockets, flip-lock fastened stamped gold hardware. The contrast flip is bananas! The color combination of chocolate and chestnut is like a delectable bonbon. The MJ of the early millennium is back with a vengeance! On Net-a-Porter for $1495.

Pair with: Reed Krakoff’s metallic lizard ankle-wrap mules. The shimmering gold skin coordinates with the clasp of your bag: matchy-matchy that’s amazing, not nerdy. Rich wooden heels and ankle straps that look like licorice take them to another level. On Net-a-Porter for $875.
