Marc by Marc Jacobs Flights of Fancy Shopper

Filed under: Handbags

Marc Jacobs has an uncanny ability to create handbags that are immediately classic and sophisticated as well as handbags that are quirky and offbeat yet unexpectedly become classics of their own accord. Perhaps he has that magic touch where for years anything he touches has been successful or maybe we all just love what he does because he is Marc and we expect to be bewildered yet excited about his creations - who knows?

Whatever the case may be, I am pretty much hooked on almost everything he does. I trust his taste and style even when I don't immediately agree with his vision because I know he will always push the envelope all the while having fun and taking chances with fashion. Take for example Jacob's Flights of Fancy Shopper featured here. It's a colorful and quirky collection of various animals set in the outdoors. And although it may not fit the mold of the next "it" bag, it is certainly unique and refreshingly different from the rest of the monotone color oversized bags that have become so popular – which by the way I love as well. The Flights of Fancy Shopper has character all on its own and not because it is a recreation of what shoppers have become accustomed to but because it is Marc once again having fun with fashion. Price: $428.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q City Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Marc By Marc Jacobs Women's Classic Q City BagThe Marc By Marc Jacobs Women's Classic Q City Bag is one of the most artful tote-sized bags we've ever seen.

This double strapped bag comes in at 12.5"W x 15"H x 2.75"D, and has a detachable strap (shown) which allows you to throw in your portfolio and sling it over your shoulder like any tote bag. But this is not any tote bag. This is a soft, "Electric Violet" pebble leather Marc by Marc Jacobs masterpiece.

We especially love the elegant gather at the center of the bag, and the complementary geometric shapes and the base of the straps. There are concealed magnetic snaps for closure, as well as an inside zipper and cell phone pocket.

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q City Bag is available from Bloomingdales for $428.

Bow Bag Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

It's a big, silver, lacy-looking bow that doubles as a clutch.

What do you think of it?

My first impression was 'geez, who wouldn't look tacky carrying that?' But the more I look at the more I think it's really sort of charming. In an off-beat, ultra-feminine- with-a-hint-of-biker-chick sort of way.

The Bow Bag Clutch from Marc by Marc Jacobs features silver metallic leather with a double overlay of netting. It has two pockets (one on each side of the bow's center) each with its own zipper closure and bright pink lining. Also features a short chain strap with attached designer logo. $250

Printed Big Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This is a big tote that's proud of itself and isn't shy about announcing itself for all to see in big pink letters. Totes are great to have around for all kinds of things, and although this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag doesn't exactly fit into the "neutral" category it is made mainly of black and cream (which both go with a lot), and the concept of spicing up an outfit with a bright shot of color is always in (hence the hot pink!). Zip top closure, monogrammed lining, and 1980s vibe included. $170

Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Miss Thing, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I like the long, lean look of this bag. The cream colored leather is pebbled for texture and the gentle gathering adds softness. The simple logo medallion looks sharp and goes well with the over sized strap rings. I like it when a designer pays as much attention to the interior of a bag as the exterior. This one has a pretty black and white floral print lining and a 6" zipper pocket as well as two patch pockets. Well-sized at 7"H x 11"L with a 13" strap drop, the bag sells for $228.

A brightly colored handbag is a good way to add a touch of color to your fall wardrobe and there are lots of offerings this season in purples and reds. But sometimes you want something a bit more subtle and that's where this tote comes in. In a cool ocean blue, the soft leather bag whispers instead of shouts. With wide double shoulder straps and a two exterior side pockets, it is a bag built for comfort and convenience. A gold-tone turnlock closure on the flap opens to a logo lining and and several more pockets. Measuring 5 ½ " W x 10" H X 6 D", the bag sells for $448.
