Designer Bag by Marc Jacobs

A lot of people are ridiculing Marc Jacob’s Rana Pouch. To be honest I actually like the styling of the bag. The Rana Pouch consists of soft plushy kangaroo leather embedded with a fairly large golden metallic frog. The word “rana” in Spanish literally means frog. But in order to adore this handbag, you must appreciate the simpler things in life.

What defines a simple handbag? Instead of answering that question, I’m going to tell you the components of an intricate handbag—this way you can distinguish between the two types. A complex handbag is bombarded with tons of glimmering hardware. Other complex bags consist of shiny materials (whether it’s constructed using vinyl or genuine leather). Basically speaking, many of these bags can be defined as having a “bling” factor to them. But to be honest, I’m getting tired of all the “bling;” I say pretty soon, this fashion statement will phase itself out of existence. Anyways, let’s talk more about the bag.

I think the bag is pretty cool looking. This designer purse by Marc Jacobs comes in a variety of colors (pink, black, lime green, mustard yellow). If you asked me to choose a color, I would pick the pink one. Don’t ask me why, I just like pink. Also, I like Marc’s idea of the shoulder loop functioning also as a closure for the bag. The overall design theory of this bag is unique and fun. In conclusion, I wouldn’t say this is one of the coolest bags ever made, but on Jen’s scale of coolness—I would give it 8 out of 10.
