Marc Jacobs

By Tanya Names can often be deceptive, but in the case of this Marc by Marc Jacobs Metal Check Groovee Bag, it’s safe to say things are as they should be. Indeed, the checkered labyrinth of lambskin and cow leather is a shiny-matte blend that ...

By Tanya Three guesses who designed this bag. Not that you’ll need three, of course - this is one of those obvious, in-your-face Marc Jacobs handbags. The Dita Large Quilted purse is a functional carryall that resembles a somewhat simple version of the MJ Venetia. Though not exactly alike (there are...

By Erin D. Oh, to be ten years younger. Then I’d have the perfect excuse to carry this precious little Marc by Marc Jacobs Polka Dot Pouchette, a sweet denim purse featuring playful blue polka dots and a heavy gold clasp. As it is, I find the purse a little too cutesy for my style and age (and [...]

By Tanya Funny how it works: Marc Jacobs designs something new, and I follow suit by adding it to my already immense collection of bags. I think I can be forgiven for my greediness, though - the designer’s Quilted Leather Bowler is too gorgeous to ignore. It’s about as timeless as a quilted purse can ge...

By Tanya Astonishing but true: quilted leather takes a backseat to regular old run-of-the-mill leather on Marc Jacobs’s latest creation. And you know what? It’s not bad at all. Hopefully the popularity of the Mix Quilted East West Tote will steer MJ in a new direction from now. This oversize bag is tr...

By Erin D. Still looking for that perfect overnight bag to take on your next getaway? Take a look at this Marc by Marc Jacobs Mighty Weekender, which now comes in black and camouflage in addition to the oh-so-summer chalk. Soft leather gives the roomy handbag a relaxed, worn feel that makes it great fo...

By Tanya It’s no secret that Marc Jacobs has mastered the art of the quilted handbag - but this purse is less about the same old and more about coming on strong, showcasing a look that’s bold and polished at once. The Kid Elastic Quilted Frame Bag is fresh and fashion-forward, boasting a vivacious ora...

By Tanya I know, I know - enough with the quilted purses, Marc Jacobs. And yet one look at the designer’s deliciously soft 2-Way Quilted Stam in berry and all disdain vanishes from my mind. There’s no limit to this purse’s innate beauty: The leather is supple on sight alone, but to touch it practically...

By Tanya It didn’t take me long to determine the problem with this Marc Jacobs purse: it’s got dull, mismatched stones plastered on the flap. I’m as open to unexpected elements as anyone, but there’s nothing that actually stands out on the Anna Small Hobo. The stones blend hues of rust, navy, black an...

By Erin D. I have a confession: These quilted Marc Jacob purses - much as I love them - are all starting to look alike to me. That’s not to say I don’t worship this newest Quilted Alyona handbag; I’m just thinking that perhaps it’s time for our boy Marc to shake things up. This version comes in [...]

By Tanya Groovy, indeed. Perhaps the coolest thing about Dr. Q Groovee from Marc by Marc Jacobs is that it teeters the line between lesser-cost diffusion bag and higher-end MJ bag. It certainly looks more like something straight from the runway. The leather is smooth and gorgeous, gathered neatly in...

By Tanya Things are blooming over at Marc Jacobs. This Quilted Flower Tote, part of the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, takes flower power to new levels with its vivacious red shade and demure-yet-chic floral print. The leather gleams slightly, making the cutesy flowers stand out even more. Stampe...

By Tanya There’s something to be said for a Marc Jacobs handbag that doesn’t weigh the equivalent of an infant. That, plus its obvious trendy beauty, makes the designer’s new Camila Metallic Bag a real winner. This little thing tucks under the arm and features an elegant gold chain strap. This is one o...

By Tanya When we last saw Marc Jacobs, he was doing something that involved quilted leather and gold push-locks. Apparently, not much has changed. The designer’s fall collection sees the introduction of the Patchwork Bowler, a purse that boasts all the telltale “MJ was here” signs, along with a fe...

By Mariana L. Marc Jacobs is one of this year’s CFDA award nominees for accessory designer of the year. We already know that he is one of the youngest fashion legends of the current style era. Being nominated in this category however, lends some legitimacy to this collection. It shows that handbags aren’t...

By Erin D. Hey, moms. Why let yourself be weighed down with a bulky, uncool, floral-print diaper bag when you can go the celebrity route and carry a roomy designer handbag instead? Tobey Maguire’s baby momma Jennifer Meyer is keeping her daughter’s goods under very stylish wraps with this hip Marc J...

By Tanya It doesn’t get much more decadent than this. The autumn Marc by Marc Jacobs collection is all elegance. The classy Delancey, for example, is a roomy, sassy handbag that’s ideal for carrying to work. I love the look of the slightly ruched leather, and the sheen of the bordeaux color adds extra g...

By Mariana L. Let’s say you are an icon of fashion, a classic and tradional brand that represents upscale luxury to almost all-style savvy citizens of the world. That’s all well and good, but doesn’t sound Earth-shatteringly trendy or even modern does it? Louis Vuitton has managed the difficult feat o...

By Tanya There’s plenty of perfection to be found in Marc Jacobs’ fall collection. The new Seventies Combo Satchel, for example, is pretty groovy - it’s smart, with a clean silhouette, and boasts a gorgeous deep brick color that’s just made for fall. Hints of black leather accent the handbag, with a...

By Tanya Though it’s from his lower-end Marc by Marc Jacobs line, the Faridah shoulder bag exemplifies what makes MJ such a fabulous designer. From luxurious, buttery soft leather - the kind that practically forces you to buy the bag - to designs that fuse casual and chic with ease, Marc by Marc Jaco...

By Tanya And I thought Marc Jacobs might be getting a bit boring. The designer’s Sonic Shopper Crystal Bag is one of the most interesting, unparalleled pieces I’ve seen in a while. Fantastic brown patent leather is the backdrop for this playful, glitzy tote that’s truly the epitome of glamour. A larg...

By Tanya Denim purses aren’t my thing, but this Slouchy Hobo from Marc by Marc Jacobs actually appeals to me. The oversized shape gives it a modern feel, very much in line with the preference for enormous over demure. It’s pretty hip for something made of bits of patchwork, something MJ has shown grea...

By Erin D. British singing sensation Lily Allen may have a new clothing collection at New Look, but she could use a few style pointers herself. This oversized DKNY Jeans canvas tote isn’t doing her any favors - it’s way too big for her little frame, and the nautical look doesn’t jibe with Lily’s ghetto...

By Tanya Yawn. With a name like this, you’d think that Marc Jacobs’ Core Fabric Forbidden Shopper would be a bit more…I don’t know…racy? Exciting? Colorful? There’s nothing wild about this handbag, though. It’s a part of Marc by MJ’s collection, and it’s just plain dull. The slouchy fabric is simple...

By Tanya Forget any misgivings you may have about logos - Marc Jacobs makes it look cool on the Beelie Bag from his Marc collection. This soft leather handbag is smart, with a hint of slouch thrown in to give it that casual feel. The MJ lettering is scattered haphazardly, making for a funky piece that’s...

By Tanya There’s something very refreshing and sophisticated about Marc Jacobs’ Emily Handbag. This classic purse is a bit different from the designer’s other quilted pieces, and that gives Emily an edge in my book. The quilted squares are larger here, lending the bag a more open, less austere loo...

By Tanya The unexpected can be a great thing, as this purse from the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection proves. The Party Girl Embroidered Clutch doesn’t exactly reach the height of glamour, but it’s playful and slightly artsy. The intricate abstract embroidery is a perfect complement to the bag’s sim...

By Tanya This luxe Dolce and Gabbana bag draws inspiration from Marc Jacobs and his vast collection of quilted bags. The Quilted Leather Purse may not be terribly unique, but it’s definitely a looker. From the attractive quilted leather to the sharp gold-tone hardware, it’s a smart, pulled togeth...

By Erin D. Move over ladies - Marc Jacob’s got a new girl in town and she’s pretty hot stuff. Introducing the Marc Jacobs Melinda Chain Hobo, a snazzy white leather hobo which upholds the MJ quilted style. I love the concave top and the gold chain handle (ladylike but fierce), and there’s a front zipped p...
