Marc Jacobs Dancer Tassel Bag

Remember the Marc Jacobs fringe tassel bags I wrote about in a 3-part post on the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 RTW collection?

Well, six months later, they’re still just as shudder-inducing:

They still look like living, breathing creatures, and those short fringe tassels look like they grew out of the gross eyelet pores. And the shiny leather with the quilted finish? Definitely not helping in making the bag look any less repulsive.

What I like about fringe details is that they make handbags irresistibly touchable but I’m imagining running my hand over this Marc Jacobs bag and it’s really not a good thought at all. Okay, maybe that’s the product of an overactive imagination, but this bag is making me want to take a razor to it to shave off all those dangling fringe tassels.

If you like this Marc Jacobs bag, the good news is that it’s now 20% off. Still really expensive though; the March Jacobs Dancer Tassel Bag is $2,000 (down from $2,500) at Bluefly.com.
