not a fan of the purple one... the drop needs to be a little shorter.. otherwise, it's a cute idea...

 

[mundodabolsa]

got to be honest, I can't say I'm a fan, it's fun but not as refined as I expect Marc Jacobs to be, I feel like this would be Marc by MJ appropriate, not collection stuff.

and $2350 for the siouxsie, and $2450 for the hobo?! what do they have that I'm not seeing that merits these prices?

 

[raj]

These kind of remind me of those Thomas Wylde bags.

Oh good catch jun! I didn't even notice that. And sid too... Somewhere johnny rotten is sulking

 

[kimair]

i wish they weren't so damn expensive!

 

[jun3machina]

/\ i echo that....i wish it was his MJ line, because i cant afford $2000+ for these. i think it has something to do with all of the hardware involved because there is another similar line from him for resort, called color block or something and it has less studs and so less pricey.

Pics aren't showing up for me. Can someone post the links to where I can see them?

 

[nerdphanie]

Hey I recognize you spiralsnowman! And jun3machina! And that pic! haha love this line. Way too pricey though. My initial MUST HAVE reaction has died down a bit, but I do love the purple.

 

[jun3machina]

welcome to TFS nerdphanie!

 

[nerdphanie]

Thanks jun! It's a fun place!

 

[mnis]

I don't think how many studs determines the cost... at least not for high end bags, ie: MJ, Gucci, Chanel, etc.

You'd be amazed to know the FOB of some higher end leather bags.

Yes, you do get quality leather and hopefully quality craftsmanship, but you're paying a huge mark up.

I think these would've been a nice addition to his MbyMJ line... I dunno, they're still not my cup of tea... but i'm not very 80's... sweet... or punk.
