There’s something I’ve heard a lot about Maison Martin Margiela. It is a short sentence and begins like this: Back when Margiela was good … et al. This is the kind of compression, and while some may think that applies to this nifty little bag, I disagree. Instead, I believe this MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Suede Pouch understated enough to be completely elegant.
It is completely suede, but it makes for a great summer bag. Plus, it adds an extra touch to your outfit textures, which is, let’s face it, mostly cotton at that time of year. And the color is a sort of a watered indigo with a touch of gray, unexpected for the summer. Maybe it’s just because I like wearing winter colors and textures in the summer, which confuses people slightly, but this bag for me growing more and more.
It is so simple that it would be a breeze to pair with anything, and look effortless, then. The large gunmetal attachments add one more interesting for all, making it a tad more mechanical, but still very easy. I will wear the logo on the side-in, though. Buy through Saks for $ 265.
