Thread: Marc Jacobs Day Fluo Venetia

Marc Jacobs has got to be on my top five designers list. You all must admit he’s pretty darn creative and skilled at what he does. Most of his handbags are hits in my book, but sometimes, Mr. Jacobs tends to bust out something from who-knows-where. Meet the Day Fluo Venetia handbag by the Marc Jacobs collection. Ok, so maybe this bag is not that bad. (It really isn’t! Worst designs really do exist!) The only dislike on this Marc Jacobs would have to be the tacky color. Yes, I am aware that bright colors are in, but somehow, I prefer highlighter hues marked among my textbooks, not on my handbag! I do adore the bags structure; the Venetia is such an attractive and sophisticated bag, (especially in the metallic leather version). I feel the Day Fluo Venetia failed in not carrying quilted leather. Maybe I’m wrong, now that I think about it; I don’t think the fluorescent color would compliment delightfully with quilted leather.

So what do you all think? Do you ladies think a bags color could either make or break a handbag, overall? Say the Day Fluo were available in the classic shade of black rather than in Acid Yellow, (yes, that's the colours name), would you find this Venetia more appealing?

I love the bag style but think the color is awful! I just can't get into it. So dated.

The style is okay, but the color looks off to me.

^^^ I was thinking the same thing... I wonder which is its true color??!

The style is simple and elegant... I like it! But yeah, the color does seem weird.

Here's a pic from Marc's website. This is acid yellow... so I guess the color is about right. Maybe a little greener than the elux pic.

I love that bag...the color is awesome, lol!

Eeek... that's just sooo wrong...
