I'm writing about this bag because it's so simple and basic-- an easy piece to incorporate into one's bag wardrobe (will post my 2nd NBC segment on building a bag wardrobe soon, am still recovering from my monthlong trip!). Simple, however, does not mean boring-- the small sprinkling of studs on the sides make the bag trendy and stylish, too. Not sure what that lock is for but at least it's not so big that it detracts from the clean lines (just turn it around, the backside is much cuter). Many of you ask us for bags you can take to work and to cocktails, I think this is it. Price is right, too! Sometimes, Marc pleasantly surprises us with his subtleties, this is one of them.

The first of Joy Gryson for MCM bags have arrived at Saks! Though modernized and sporty, Gryson retains the flavor of the classic brand with the Sportivo Satchel. Instead of an entire bag emblazoned with the MCM logo, Gryson opted instead to give subtle tastes of it on the embossed leather on the sides and outer corners. A brilliant way to cater to those who love the logo and those who prefer discretion. The simple pebble grained leather satchel gets a nice twist by adding the belted gathering on corners. Adjustable shoulders will allow you to carry on shoulder or crook of arm. Can't wait to see the rest of the collection!
