Denim Dharma
In Handbags, Women on February 22, 2009 at 4:02 pmLast night I wore on an almost entirely denim outfit – a light denim jacket, white burnout V-neck and gray skinny jeans – matchiness I hadn’t realized until Travis pointed it out. Denim, the 80s obsession, is making a big comeback. From jeans to jacket, what’s next? What’s the cherry to top my neapolitan sundae?
I went searching on eBay for “denim handbag”. Gag! The blast of Coach pattern with chunks of buckles and leather made me think of yuppie mallrats consuming these patchwork pieces at any price.
So what makes a “good” denim handbag? Keeping it simple. Celebrating the texture and shade of the denim, rather than throwing together a mixed bag of cheap tricks. Here are a couple pieces you’ll want to hold onto instead of throwing Frankenbag back in Marc Jacobs’ face.
