You know the saying – ‘Always look your best, you never know who you might meet..’ (or at least something along that line)? It’s pretty true. You just never know in life. Just like how you never know when you would be in a place without a bathroom where you can go freshen up. Shit happens. You need some place quiet with lighting and a mirror and all you get is 5 mins before your next presentation.
So a pocket mirror is always handy. I don’t mean those fluffy, cute kind or the make-up compact powder kind but something discreet and low-key.
You won’t get those qualities with this mirror piece by Martin Margiela. With its leather flap/trim, this one stands out. And I believe it’s supposed to? I’m on the fence on this one – on one hand, if the trim is taken off, this would be a great tool to throw in your bag for whenever. But with the trim, you can forget about being discreet. It also makes it cumbersome to slip into your pants’ pocket since it will stick out or create a weird shape when you sit.
But it isn’t ugly. It doesn’t look bad. The trim just looks very unnecessary and I really don’t know why it’s there in the first place. What is the point?
