Default Marc Jacobs Oversized Clutch


So it looks like MJ has brought back the fashionable frog ornament that was first seen on the Rana Clutch. Some of us were scratching our heads since reptile ornaments weren't a usual trend seen on pieces by Marc Jacobs, while others were excited to see something new and admired the little guy. Shown above is the new Oversized Clutch bag by the Marc Jacobs Collection. I wasn't really a fan of the Rana Clutch, but I must say that I adore this one.

I'm really liking the cute little decorative silvertone frog with red crystal eyes on the exterior pocket of this clutch. I'm not a fan of the faux turnlock though. But, what's great about this clutch is the fact that you can wear if over your shoulder since it comes with a strap. And the oversized feature allows you to use it like a purse, which is how I would prefer to use it anyway. This bag is made of nylon and trimmed with leather and it is available in purple or black. I would opt for the purple one if I had to pick. Lastly, I think this new clutch by MJ is cute, but I personally wouldn't purchase it.

So is the frog embellishment a yay or nay?

See it at Nordstrom

I think the frog is sorta cool. Without it, this bag would look just like any ordinary plain tote...

Amphibian... frogs are amphibians (Class Amphibia). Reptiles are different, they belong to a different Class (Reptilia). Sorry, had to say it. I'm a bio student. I actually like the froggie on there. He's cute. Of course I'm more partial to turtles. They are cuter!

I'm iffy. I like the charm, but I don't really like how its placed smack dab down the centre. Personally, I'd move it.
