Style Cynics

Berry, berry quite contrary…in Mark Jacobs that is when it’s this vivid berry colored quilted stam.

And what exactly is a stam? I wasn’t quite sure either, but after looking for 10 minutes via my search engine I gave up hope and realized it’s probably one of those fashion-forward words that haute couture designer types like to use to make the rest of us feel like silly little creatures.

I give Marc Jacobs credit. I usually hate quilted purses, but this design is deliciously vivid and scrumptious in soft padded quilted leather and luscious berry hue…makes you just want to bite right into it.

The texture of this bag looks like it would provide a feature light cushion right under your arm. Plus the rich purple berry set against bright golden clasp closures, ringed hardware, and a chunky chain shoulder strap make it eye candy for all to see.

I simply love the antique-inspired clasp closure the best. It’s my favorite element of the entire design. I don’t have anything that would go with berry in my wardrobe for fall, but a purse like this makes me want to run out and purchase some sleek black skinny pants and a tailored jacket – with a complimenting berry blouse or scarf to match this delicious purse.

Infuse your life with some healthy berry. The Marc Jacobs 2-Way Quilted Stam is $1,373.91 at Diabro.com.

This cranberry Rampage Fashionista Satchel with darling florets is just $78 at Endless.com.

I couldn’t resist this bowler-inspired lavender satchel either. The Latico Faye North South Ring Satchel is $195, also from Endless.com.
