Everything about this bag should make me hate it. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Block Party Cube Bag, is for starters, a cube. It looks exactly how I’d imagine a grown-up lunch box to be. It has only one teeny internal pocket and is that sort of in-between size. Is it made for day, or is it made for night?

The answer to that could be anything, I couldn’t care less. What Marc Jacobs has created is the sort of concoction that I am desperate to stroll down the street with and just watch the odd expressions I get back. It is the bag that the average onlooker would sneer at, but the fashion elite would squeal with delight at.

Why do I love it? Well it all starts with that charming block colour. Not quite grass green and not quite emerald, it’s the perfect shade that somehow manages to work its magic through both summer and winter, which I suppose makes it a investment buy. Secondly, I love the fact that it can be worn as a crossbody bag or a wristlet clutch depending on mood or occasion. But lastly it’s the whole simplicity of it, it’s such a statement bag in such an understated way. It will probably always look odd, but it will probably never ever quite be out of fashion. It’s everything you look for in a bag without saying as much.

I for one can’t wait to have one in my collection, buy the Marc by Marc Jacobs Blocky Party Cube Bag.
