Jacobean Theatre
If all the crazy crap and carols haven’t given it away yet, you’d know we’re close to the holidays just because of all the holiday-themed purses that are popping up everywhere.
‘Holiday themed’ usually means kitsch with a vengeance — aggressively warm and happy and seasonal, lord love you.
Now this purse here from Marc Jacobs is a very good example. I’ll say right now that I like it very much — I adore satin. I especially adore purple satin. The problem with satin is that it’s not the most durable of materials, and can be very hard to clean once stained. This purse manages to sidestep that down point by being made <i>mostly</i> of leather with the satin as a nice, gentle covering. Just keep it away from your drink, ok?
I’m not sure what this purse is trying to be — it’s a very funny mix of delicacy and camp humour. Whatever it is, it works for me… and not just because I’ve put a complete ban on Scrooge-like snobbiness towards anything holiday-related this year.
May all your Thanksgivings be purple!
