Remember the Marc by Marc Jacobs Doctor’s Bag that Amanda got you all hyped up for? Well I fell for it too. It is purple, slouchy, and large. That is so me. But if the shape was not exactly you, the little sister of this bag is such a great option that I may very well convert many of you over to the Liz Riz.
Yes, a catchy little name, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Liz Riz Bag sports a hobo shape rather than the east/west shape. The only thing that I would like a little different is the signature nameplate, which is rather large. But the bag is typical of many Dr. designs from Marc Jacobs, featuring softly gathered leather, a fold-over top, and quirky scrambled logo lining. You know, now that I see this version, I realize it is much more fitting for me. Meaning, this is now the new Marc by Marc love of Purse Blog, that is unless Amanda puts up a big fight! Either purple or black available at Saks for $428.
Oh yes, I’m loving this! My only concern is, like Megs, the size of the nameplate. Kinda almost makes this like a monogram bag with that in-your-face “look at me…I’m a designer bag!” vib. But the cool design and relatively affordable price makes me overlook it a bit.
Hmmm…I think I may to off to buy me one! And I think definitely purple!
The nameplate is def distracting, but the plus is that it can only be read if someone comes up close… so maybe it won’t be too bad. Just depends!
I actually really love the shape and COLOR of this bag! Went over to Saks.com and the purple is already sold out. Boo.
Love this bag!! Agree about the nameplate but it’s cuteness and price tag make it a winner for me!!
I got this bag for my birthday and love it! It’s smooshy and the color is really pretty IRL.
Ooh I love this bag! The shape, the colour, and I actually really like the name plate – I think it gives the bag a more utility feel that fits with the “doctor” name. The price is really good too!
The folds in the leather look divine…
On the marc jacobs wesite it has the bag also in kinda a aqua blue.
do they sell this color in stores?
I hope you guys no how much power you wield. I went over to the site to buy MY DREAM BAG and they only had it in dumb old black…
Willa- they’ve restocked it in Grape.
nordstroms still have some left in purple. Go to the store and ask for a transfer and ship to your home! I just got mine.
Piperlime dot com has it in stock.
I like it. I wish the strapy/buckle-y thingy in the middle would disappear though…
I really like this bag but I saw someone carrying it in cream and loved that. I really want it in cream. Does anyone know where I can get one?
I just received mine from Nordstroms. It is the purple color. I am kind of disappointed. The material is not quite sturdy. It is too soft and lost its shape if you really don’t have that much things inside the bag. I will return it
I agree Angel I was just about to order one from shopbop.com when I saw someone in the supermarket wearing one and being in sydney australia that is not common to see someone with a marc jacobs bag. And I was disappointed with the leather not being so sturdy especially in the pale violet colour.
So I will be in the States early November and will shop then. It is costly sending things back from here.
I just bought this bag and am in love. The color is beautiful and the slouchy look is a adorable. Also, the nameplate really is less noticeable than you would think and it looks great full or almost empty. This was my fist “nice” bag and I am so glad to have bought it!
