MARC by Marc Jacobs bags (November 2005 - November 2010)

I want the Quinn (graduation can't come fast enough)!!

In Mouse Grey, though. Yellow's a bit too much for me.

I saw the patchwork groove in black and grey and I'm not too sure how I feel about it....I liked it but I didn't... lol Although it did seem to feel 'lighter' than the one I bought last season. I'm heading back tomorrow to touch it some more to see how I feel

Oh boy; a whole thread dedicated to MBMJ. This could get dangerous for me!

by the way, I am GUNG and I love MBMJ!

My MBMJ collection:

Turnlock bowler in Black, Firebird red, and green
Softy Max in Ocean
Softy Tote in Tea Leaf
Totally Turnlock Teri in Black and Cordovan

AND I LOVE THEM ALL! Best bags in the world!

Welcome Gung

And Glamgal, I'ms soo jealous of your new bag. Why don't you post some pics??

 

[FashionRoyalty]

glammgal, do you have any pictures of your patchwork groove?

Hey all!
I'm about to buy a Faridah bag online at NAP but can't decide which color to choose.
Which one would you choose ? I'm a bit scared the grey one will "fade" too quickly.

One more question: is this bag heavy ? I had the Teri turnlock but returned it because I
it was so heavy.

I *heart* the the new groovee tote A LOT. I knew I should have stayed out of this post!

I've only tried on the Faridah once in the store and it seems a bit lighter than the Teri. I was surprised how heavy the Teri was, but you get used to it!

I don't think the Grey would fade. It's just that dirt and stains would show up on it much easier than it would on the black! Both colors are great IMO!

thanks telicious !

I have the grey one- the colour is really unique-matches with almost everything and got many compliments for this bag-
one comment though - within 6 months (of often us) the colour changes - different parts of the bag come from different leather so other darken much and other get to a more pinkish colour- it doesnt look bad- it looks as if you are just using this bag much - but you are not going to have that effect if you choose the black one- the colour will remain the same for many years.

 

[liliemette]

Thanks Hellena. That's what I was thinking. I love the grey one but a black bag always stays beautiful longer.

As I have a MbMJ in black as well I can guarantee that the colour remains the same no matter how much you use it- the only thing that changes in all these bags is the leather that gets softer by time which is a really nice change. Let us know which one you'll buy ;-)

I just came back from Bloomingdales and I am in love with Patchwork shoulder bag in orange! It feels so soft and the color is so vibrant. Somebody please stop me!

 

[jun3machina]

stop you? oh no, darlin, go for it!

There's a patchwork bag in orange??
Sounds intriguing... is it the Groovee?

 

[sleepy]

No, I made a mistake, sorry I was thinking about Poppy shoulder bag in orange. I saw the Quinn in yellow just before Christmas in Bloomingdale's and it's sold out now I am also looking for a nice leather jacket...

I agree! The more you use the leather MBMJ bags, the softer they get. I love the leather on the turnlock pieces and I feel they are such an outstanding value for the cost.
