Marc Jacobs Day Fluo Venetia
Marc Jacobs fiends should click over to eLuxury stat, because the sale section is just bursting with everything MJ.
What caught my eye, though, wasn’t so much a marked down price tag, but a fluorescent version of the designer’s classic Venetia handbag. One of my all-time favorites, it’s admittedly like carrying around a dumbbell. Despite its heft, it’s gorgeous, timeless, roomy—all essential details.
So it was with dismay that I laid eyes on this Day Fluo Venetia ($1395). There’s nothing like a coat of acid yellow to brighten up a dull day, but here the bag’s luxurious feel is compromised by the blinding hue.
It’s not that I don’t love Venetia in bright, enigmatic shades—I carry around my geranium colored version all the time. But this doesn’t seem a worthwhile investment.
Perhaps it was inspired by MJ’s love of SpongeBob Squarepants?
