Bag: The Marc Jacobs Kiss Lock Mini Leather Tote

Price: $295

Why it’s the Bag of the Week: Marc Jacobs rebranding has been a bit confusing, changing his former contemporary label from Marc by Marc Jacobs now to The Marc Jacobs and housing it with Runway Marc Jacobs. The brand, and bags, have been a bit lost in this mix waiting for things to shake out, but this Kiss Lock Mini Tote is a really nice bag at a great price point. It doesn’t stand out immediately as a bag by Marc Jacobs, but in this case that’s ok. It’s compact yet big enough and offers an easy cross-body optional strap. The leather looks nice and the kiss lock closure is a sweet touch on an otherwise classic-in-appearance bag. The finished product is casual enough for daily and weekend wear while also looking polished as well, which makes for a really pretty bag priced very well.

Bag: Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette Bag

Price: $2,800

Why it’s the Bag of the Week: Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta is fresh, new, and on the arms (and wishlists) of every fashion obsessed person. While The Pouch gets a ton of recognition, it’s the Cassette Bag that has my heart. The padded leather offers a touch me now, love me forever vibe and this color is what neutral dreams are made of. The maxi weave modernizes Bottega Veneta’s house signature and the interior is just large enough for your daily go-to items. Added bonus: the strap folds in the bag easily so you can carry the bag as a clutch (though would be nicer if it could be removed).
