It looks oddly old and dingy – probably the color combo and the pattern on it reminds me of some musty old lady’s sofa.

I love the design, but I don’t know, the pink and grey aren’t sitting right with me. But I’d buy it, it’s different but in a good way. (fb)

I agree with ‘HmMmluvthatbag’. I have just purchased this bag, and i can honestly say that in person it is absolutely beautiful. Pictures definitely don’t do it any justice. The craftsmanship is incredible. This bag looks just as great with jeans as it does with an evening dress. But i can understand that its something that not everyone would wear. Although i saw a picture of Sienna Miller with this bag and she pulls it off beautifully!

Ok when i first saw this bag online i was like “oh wow, thats something out of the ordinary”(and I also did notice that this line and the jungle themed Louis Vuitton collection do look similar). Today i was in Nordstrom shopping and as i was exiting i saw this bag and it’s larger version with double handles- and after seeing it in person i can honestly say this is a really great looking bag. In the store i freaked out cause it looks so awesome, the leather is soft and the whole coloring of it is interesting. I’ve been home for a couple hours and i’m not as sure about anyone actually purchasing something like that. I could be wrong, but it’s just so different looking that it could be just too much and it would end up looking tacky. But still, if you’re thinking about purchasing this bag or if you’re just interested in what it looks like in real life just go to a Nordstrom, Saks or any of those high end stores and pick it up for a couple minutes. Like i said, i think it’s amazing looking and it’s very practical, but i’m just not sure about how someone could pull off carrying around something that out-there.

I beheld the beauty that is the Robert Jennifer today, in the flesh. I had my doubts. I thought dear Marc might have gone overboard. It does have a lot going on.

Then I saw them. In all of their array of colors. This line is one of the most exquisite I’ve seen. It is a blend of all that is wonderful and an artfully crafted explosion of talent. It is soft, delicate, wild and crazy all at the same time. Just like our man Marc.

It is easy to make brash assumptions about a bag from one picture. I guess it is easy to make conclusions about the designer from those flawed assumptions. But nothing of value comes from ignorance. So ladies, if you haven’t seen this bag in person, I suggest you hold your comments until you do.

As far as the designer Marc goes… I could care less about designer stuff. I am not a fashionista at all. Yet when I stumbled across Marc Jacobs’ creations, it was though nothing else existed. He is truly original with his visions. It is deeply insulting to insinuate that he has no talent and must copy superior designers. My dears, I have never seen anyone come up with so many new designs, season after season. This Robert Jennifer is one bag… a spit in the ocean of his designs.

I can respect that Chanel is a style icon. But to compare Marc to Chanel is folly once again. I have never looked at a Chanel bag twice. While many see classic, I see boring. While many see epitome of fashion, I see an overpriced label. Most Chanel bags I see look like minor mutations of each other. It’s difficult to even know what MJ bags are in the same season! To me, that is artistic talent. When you can go beyond any “trademark” or limitation to style and create EVERYTHING.

Well…MJ does it again! He always consistently HITS us with something that makes us all go WOW!!! This bag is like a piece of art…I hope to see one IRL.

good point, jun. a good example is the kaffiyeh. many arabs were offended when it became a huge fashion trend. it was popular in the 80s then nicholas ghesquiere of balenciaga sent the scarves down the runway of his fall 07 show and sparked a kaffiyeh resurgence.

“As far as im concerned the article tadpolenyc posted didnt really resolve the issue about the scarves, looks like a payoff to me.”

do you have any clue how many designers totally rip off other ‘found’ vintage prints, cuts, styles, etc??? every designer does it hon. MJ just got caught this time, where as other designers generally make sure the person they’re ripping off either isn’t trackable or dead already. there’s also a ton of mimicking from art prints, and fabric textiles from third world countries which could be sacred to that culture, yet they are brought to light by fashion houses and mass marketed into perversion if the trend catches on.

I liked the hearts bags. Obviously many fashion houses are inspired by Chanel, it is the gold standard. This bag just combines too many of them; it is a little too close to the classic flap.
