Marc by Marc Jacobs "Clearly" top handle bag

Hi! I recently made an exciting purchase and wanted to share it here on my blog. 



I have been eyeing this bag all season and when i saw it at the Nordstrom's Half-Yearly sale i knew i had to have it.  It was originally $348 but i snagged it on Half-Yearly for $208! Total steal! This is my first Marc by Marc Jacobs leather handbag and so far i am loving it.  It came with the signature white dust bag and the usual tags with the MbMJ logos. The transparent front of this bag is what sets this bag from others.  Transparent bags, as well as accessories, are very trendy at the moment, most notable the clear bag from Valentino, it is a modern concept that is extremely eye catching.   


The Clearly is a mix of new with a touch of classic.  The transparency is new while the shape is totally classic.  The structured box shape paired with the accordion sides and top-handle look and feel familiar, like many of the amazing classic bags.
  

The front of the Clearly is a clear piece of PVC and the back is a solid black piece of leather. The black is complimented with deep gold hardware.  Inside of the bag isa cream colored pouch with multiple pockets and a gold zipper to keep it closed, behind that is a compartment to hide any valuables that you wouldn't place in the clear compartment for the whole world to see.
