I prefer the Stam Bag over the BB bag.

The Stam BAg looks luxurious compares to the BB bag....

I've had the regular black stam for just a little over two years now. It has gotten a fair bit of use (and abuse) in that time.

I've noticed over the last few months that the gold hardware is starting to fade. - Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything to do from preventing any further fade?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Snap! I am so peed off. I bought my Marc Jacobs stam back in January in the sales at Selfridges and noticed yesterday when I got in the car that a bit of gold on the clasp has 'chipped' away!? WTF!? I can't seem to find the locate either so I can return it to get it fixed. I have contacted MJacobs via email about the matter and hopefully the fault can be sorted.

Hello girls! Thought i would revive this thread a bit. Any new Stam news? Mine have both been getting lots of love lately (although i've had to use the larger one less as i've injured my back badly...probably from constantly carring such heavy bags, haha).

WOuld someone mind taking a look at this patchwork one for authenticity and opinions? (I also have a putty regular and baby black, so don't know if a black or navy patchwork would be Stam overkill...)

Thanks in advance!!

I thought the seller only sold authentic bags and has excellen feedback too but it looks like the zipper head in the close-up pic is not rounded. I don't know if they ever changed that or if the Patchwork Stams are different. I would post this in tpf. The girl there really know what to look for and that way you can be sure.

This is probably a little late but the Patchwork Indigo Stam is authentic.

^ Thanks to both of you.

Decided that since i'm moving overseas to the UK and can only take 2 suitcases (my bags and shoes alone will take up one!), I should probably wait to buy any new bags until then. Unless i see something i cannot resist...

 

[Velony]

That's a good decision. I'm sure you'll find many new bags once you're in the UK though. Are you moving to London?

 

[elegantly_wasted]

or you could donate some to me :LOL:

 

[Boots & Perfume]

I'm hoping to be working in London, but will be living in Cambridge while my boyfriend does his PhD there. Very excited!

Has anyone seen the plum metallic patchwork in real life? What are the new metallics like as far as the peeling/fading problem that the earlier ones had? Contrary to my earlier comment about resisting buying any more bags until i move, i'm very tempted by the black and plum metallic patchworks on Net a Porter right now!

Any comments appreciated!

sorry haven't seen the plum metallic patchwork irl
but I do have a question... what is the difference in
goldtone hardware and golden hardware? I there a difference?
Is one matte and the other shiny gold? I have a baby stam and the hardware
is sooooo bright shiny gold...and i kinda hate it, I wished it was more matte.

I'm not 100% sure, but i believe there were three variations of the gold hardware- An aged gold (which i have on my black baby stam), which had an almost black tarnished finish, so it looked antique; the gold (which i have on my putty regular, and was on the S/S 07-08, etc.), and the golden which is the brightest, shiny gold which you probably have. To be honest, they will all dull a bit with age (my putty chain has certainly done this, though not at all in a bad way), so you might find it will mellow a bit the more you wear it, particular if worn against bare skin rather than clothing.

Hope that helps
