I own this bag in the black color combo. I LOVE it and, it seems, so do a lot of other people, since I was stopped numerous times today by people wanting to know who makes my bag, where can they get it, etc., etc. These bags need to be seen in person before you can make an informed decision (like a lot of bags we see in photos). These bags are so beautiful up close. This style is really versatile. You can hand-carry, use the long strap and have it graze the hips or double up the strap and use it as a shoulder bag. I usually carry a lot of my bags and I was able to fit everything in this bag with room to spare. If I could afford it, I would buy this bag in another color. I love it that much!

MIMS — ALL of the Memphis bags are NOT $1995. There are smaller ones that are $995, pouchettes and wallets that are $695 and bags in between that $1395-1595. This is a larger bag with a lot more leather and detail, which is why it’s more $$. You can find smaller Memphis bags for less money. It all depends on the size and details.

Amanda Mull, you’re absolutely right, you have to see the Robert in person. I just bought one through Neiman’s… I ended up knowing more about it than the sales person thanks to your blog. Thanks Purse Blog. I love it!

All of these Memphis bags are $1995 which is just too much!!
So I wonder… how much would people who actually like this bag pay for this bag??? I would pay $995. Is that too low?

this is my FAVORITE bag of the season. i absolutely love it, and yes like some other commenters stated, it is nearly a work of art. I go to nordstrom and just swing it in my arms in front of the mirror wish i had the money to buy it, i’d buy it in a heart beat. the blue with silver/red diamond stitching.

i don’t know why people hate on marc jacobs, i think he’s genius. my best friend was a designer for bcbg a few years ago and now is independent, and she loves MJ too.

and i think jay is blind to think this bag looks like the LV. like HMW says, YAWN…! if you haven’t seen this bag in person, you have no idea what you’re talking about, either way.

and to spacey, you don’t have horrible taste. all the haters just doesn’t know how to appreciate a great aesthetic when it’s right in front of their face. i would totally rock this bag, and you shouldn’t let anyone make you feel bad for your own personal style and taste. didn’t we all learn that in high school?

I agree…at first this bag came off as ridiculous. After messing with it a bit, I’ve grown to love them! The long strap can be manipulated so it can be worn as a shoulder bag but it looks the best in hand. Also, the picture shown is the WORST color combo it comes in. My store has it in Red, Blue, Purple, and best of all Beige w/ metallic pink! FAB…

I seen this in purple. The details are lovely and the leather is very soft but the handle is so limiting. It’s too short to be anymore than hand carried. You can’t even put it in the crook of your arm.

Just to clarify i dont think this bag looks anything like the LV someone posted and I dont think Marc is ripping off anyone (including himself !) . It is really well made and I have seen it IRL however i just really hate the pattern and colour combo. Thats my complaint.

I love it! My favourite kinds of bags are the ones that don’t look like all of the others.

I’ve seen in irl. It’s not for me, but I don’t find it ugly or even all that overdone.

LOVE IT – even in this colour. Haven’t seen it IRL but I love the detail, the tassles etc etc.

People either get Marc or they don’t. I actually like this bag, talk about different but not garish. Yes, his juices are starting to interbleed between his Vuitton and MJ lines but don’t call him a counterfeiter; they’re all the creations of the same man.

*Sigh* some people just can’t see art. It’s easy to just follow what the masses say about art.

But true genius never does.

This bag rocks.

How on earth does this look cheaper than LV? MJ’s designs for LV and for his own line are so different. First of all, what is the big deal about LV anyway? Coated canvas with enormous branding? Yawn. How contrived and attention-grabbing. How pitiful and usual. But then you get works of art like this, and everyone goes ballistic. Perhaps the exquisite detail of LV’s cheap materials and ornate adornments of, um, a lock here and there escape me, but THIS is what I call a genuinely creative handbag – a diamond in the rough.

Well I tell you….this bag is a work of art & I think only a TRUE DIVA should try to pull this one off. Again, thanks for bringing this one to our attention Amanda!

I like this bag. I can’t justify the 2 grand it would take to purchase it, tho. I just can’t! So, pass for me – which kind of sucks because I think I could rock this bag so hard!
