Marc Jacobs Handbags

We reported earlier that Marc Jacobs has entered rehab for which we wish him the best. What better way to send him all kinds of love and support than continuing to buy his bags? And hey, worst case scenario, this helps you justify a purchase. A spin off the Stam, the Marc Jacobs Quilted Leather Tote showcases brown quilted leather with chunky gold hardware and chain link handles. Two front zip pockets add a bit of flare. This bag is a Marc hit, seeing as he rode the nice Stam wave and re-introduced the quilted leather along with a sophisticated coloring pair of brown leather and gold hardware. Support Team Marc through NAP for $1350.

To tame down the word punk, add the word sweet. This really is a delectable oxymoron pairing, sweet punk, which is also the name of the new hit line by Marc Jacobs. Hilary Duff has already been seen sporting a Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Bag) and if this bag ran more along the monetary line of the Marc Jacobs Miss Marc, I’d go for it. The smooshy black leather looks exorbitantly supple for a MJ bag which is the sweet aspect, while the silver hardware studs are embellished along the outside and bring in the punk aspect on the Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Studded Leather Handbag. While the studs are plentiful, the stud cup doth not runneth over. I am a bit annoyed that the inside merely is lined in canvas, seeing that with this price tag you would expect more, but the bag is still a great handbag for a young gal with lots of spunk or any gal for that matter with lots of funk. Through NAP for $2350.

Hilary Duff is single, young, sexy, and fashionable. The girl has really grown into herself from Lizzie McGuire cutie to sophisticated singer (kinda)/actress/latte drinker. Subtle, soft, but still a tad edgy and punk, Hilary Duff rocks the Marc Jacobs Debbie Sweet Punk Hobo Bag which is a hot line from Marc Jacobs because it perfectly implements supple leather with stud detailing. On the outside there is also ring detailing, an zipper pocket, and a turn lock with flap closure. Totally great for everyday wear, the hobos dimensions are 14″HX 17″LX 4″W. Rock on Hilary, rock on. Buy the bag via Saks for $1800.

Structured, A-line, stunning accessories; clean and crisp.

Tres chic! What more can I say other than Marc Jacobs is surprisingly on track with his Fall 2007 line. Reminiscent of European street chic yet stoic and poised, Marc implemented an array of hats which kept the models standing tall and the outfits looking couture. As you already saw the bag report, the clothing report from me is nothing but outward joy and excitement.

Picture Victoria Beckham sporting either of these outfits and looking nothing short of amazing

Love the bow on the top, love the bow on the dress, just magnificent

Face it, everyday is not always as good as some others. You may be sick, tired, over-worked, having an ugly naked day, who knows (unless you are annoyingly perfect, then go away ). Last week if you could have seen me I would have closely resembled Miss Marc, tired, sick, and down right gross looking, that is the joy of being in the hospital.

I can picture it now, as the registration woman asks me, “May we please see your Health Care card?”. I would flip out the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Pouch in a silent but bold statement of ‘Hey lady, I feel like poo, can’t you tell by this pouch?!”.

For the downtrodden days, this is the perfect accessory- it speaks a thousand words with the face of Miss Marc on this small pouch. There is a leather tie on the zipper for the entire pouch and a small zip pocket on the mouth. Hilarious. For the few days a year you feel like total poo, this pouch is the perfect accessory to show the world how you feel.

Not even expensive: $58 via Net-A-Porter.

I have had these pictures on my desktop for a week or so waiting to post about them, so they are not the newest pictures of Hilary Duff but they are pictures of Hilary Duff carrying an array of handbags at the airport. Fab Sugar has gotten a hold of these pics (possibly from the Pop Sugar post) and laid out Hilary’s handbag style from her carry on, to her carry all, to her carry everything.

Standing out is her Marc Jacobs Capra Shoulder Bag ($1350), Louis Vuitton Pégase 60 Roller ( $1,950), and the Le Sport Sac Big Weekender, ($106).

Thanks to Fab Sugar for the breakdown!

Welcome 2007!!! For the beginning of the year we all try to start off with a clean slate, whatever it may be. Poor Marc had a few bumps along designer highway last year (including yesterday even), but I have high hopes for him in 2007, fingers crossed. Metallic bronzed quilted leather roars in a fresh and sexy start on the Marc Jacobs Metallic Patchwork Stam. I must admit, I have nothing but love for this bag with its touch of mod and framed top with kiss lock closure. This Stam is far from a scam and takes after its hit brotha-bag, the original Stam. The detachable chain shoulder strap is the perfect finishing touch for this handbag along with the front zip pocket. Sizing up at 9″H x 15″W x 6″D, this is a total yay on my end. What do you all think- Yay or nay? If this bag is fug, please blame my rave on over-consumption of pork and sauerkraut, a Hungarian New Year’s family tradition, rather than my ability to judge a bag. Via Neiman Marcus for $1650.

PS. I totally fell for the SHAM and this bag is still a Stam, not a Sham as titled by Neiman Marcus. That is a hilarious typo if I have ever heard one!

This post is way overdue. I’ve been obsessing over the Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk line since I saw the Fluo Violet Sid in the November issue of Vogue. By all reports, these bags are made of the softest, most supple goatskin leather you’ll see for a while from the House of Marc. The meticulously distressed pyramid studs are perfectly punk rawk in a chic, unforced way. Here’s the Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Debbie Handbag in turquoise, a sumptuous color worthy of the most fashion-forward nymph or mermaid. I adore the toggle clasp. In fact I think I need a bag with a toggle clasp. I just love the idea, and it’s so well-executed here. The turnlock is another point of interest, with two possible locks to lock. Debbie is heavy on the details, and she may not be a bag for the weak of heart, but at the end of the day, she’s a funky beauty with a classic hobo shape. I’d love to take her home. She’s $1800, call your local Marc Jacobs to track down this color. Photo from Marcjacobs.com.

To begin our sale shop from home day, Net A Porter has an array of handbags marked down substantially (last weeks sale picks). While some of the bags are straight up fug, I was drawn to an assortment of black and white handbags, which we all know are color staples of every wardrobe.

Sleek, modern, defined, and sophisticated make the Jimmy Choo Coco Satin Clutch stand out. Nothing is more simple than this black rectangular satin clutch with gold casing around the oval cut out handle and magnetic fastening closures. Sexy in black via Net A Porter for $525.

Oh how the house of Marni has such polished and sexy bags. The cream polished leather bowling bag features a detachable chain detail that sports trinket and links across side of bag. Own a piece of flossy white magic via NAP for $991.80.
