Patent has been in for some time now and I’ve refrained from splurging on the patent bags I’ve crossed paths with but this one from MCM is really making things hard on me. I fell in love with the subtle hardware detailing and the bold structure and roomy boxiness. I’m feeling very weak right now. I first learned of MCM while on my travels in Korea. I started seeing these bags featured in some stores out there. At first I thought it was some kind of Asian luxury brand. After coming back here I looked around for it and found out it’s actually a European brand that was hot back in the 80’s. MCM is makin’ a comeback!
