Maison Martin Margiela Distressed Perforated Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
A beautiful and versatile bag that can easily transition from the crisp whites of winter to the softer whites of spring, this Distressed Perforated Tote by Maison Martin Margiela is a stylish but casual wardrobe accessory. Made of crackled leather with perforated detailing and antiqued hardware, it opens at the top and features leather snap closures and a zip pocket on the inside. It's small for a tote, measuring just 13" x 15" x 5", but should still be pretty roomy thanks to a flat base (complete with protective feet). $995
With the world's focus on improving, or more appropriately, saving the environment, designers and artists are reusing everyday products to create something new. There's no reason to waste something that you can put to good use in another way. At times, it can be a successful venture and quite useful. Others times, it becomes more eye candy than functional. Either way, the journey of making something new is always exhilarating for the designer and exciting for its audience to view. Belgium Designer, Martin Margiela, appears to have put the idea of reusing common items to the test when designing his accessory line. Who knew a can tab could be turned into something so beautiful? Margiela's Can Tab Cascade Necklace ($695) features hints of gold accents throughout for slightly sparkling effect. If his necklace is a bit too bold and you fancy a piece more subdued, check out the Can Tab Ring ($135) which features an oversize can tab at the center.
