Marc Jacobs Kasia Bag

mjkasia.jpg Dear Marc,
I worship you (I really really do, even when I'm ragging and raging on you it comes from a place of love). I never know what I'm going get from you, but I always know it will raise my blood pressure. I rant in agitation over the atrocities you deem acceptable for consumption but I also bow when I see greatness. The Kasia is the most original and beautiful bag you (and your brood of young designers) have designed in ages!  I love it, everything about it speaks luxury to me without the ostentation of logos. In its place, strips of beautifully cut leather stitched in sensuous waves-- with no apparent pattern-- allowing the imagination to freely roam.  It is at once soft and strong, feminine and graceful.  The gently curved outer pocket is perfectly executed and yes, genius.  When the leather becomes well worn and curl up at the ends, it will just give it dimension and character.  I love you.  But please, don't freak me out with another patchwork mess.  Kasia bag will be available in July 2009 and is 16" x 9.5" (40cm).  Comes in taupe (above), grey, black, dark brown and bordeaux for $1,750. There are two other versions called the Lita and Bruna in smaller sizes. Call Lorena at 212-343-1490 to order!
