Marc by Marc Jacobs Party Girl Pixie Bag

Fashion - Women > Handbags

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Do you have your summer carry-all picked out yet?

I'm curious because I've yet to find a summer bag that really grabs my attention. I have three requirements for a statement summer stunner:

 

  1. Must have a long shoulder strap - whether chain or leather.
  2. Must be smaller than 10 inches - high, deep, and wide.
  3. Must have some stand-out quality - bright coloured leather, goldtone hardware, or ....

 

One of the bags on my shortlist is this Marc by Marc Jacobs party girl pixie bag.

Grommets and studs certainly add a biker-girl edge to an otherwise basic shape. The drawstring closure is a 90s shout-out, and the adjustable shoulder strap makes this carry-all quite versatile.

Never one to shy away from details, MJ's made sure that even the bottom of this bag is complete with rows of metal studs.

At 7-inches wide, high, and deep, the party girl pixie bag would certainly house all my necessities - camera, CrackBerry, Carmex - and quench my compulsion for tiny totes.

I'll keep you posted on my final decision.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Percy Bag

Fashion - Women > Handbags

Marc by Marc Jacobs Percy bag

I'm a Marc by Marc Jacobs girl for life. Said designer is genius, and his clothing, bags, and accessories are perfect for today's young sophisticate.

So is it any surprise his Percy bag is number six on my Christmas wish list?

Call me low-maintenance, but I love the small size (6.5-in high x 9.5-in long). Made from the softest leather, the Percy bag features MJ's signature turn-lock front patch pockets, some snappy brass hardware, and an interior pocket.

And if that wasn't enough, this bag segues effortlessly from day to night. The cross-body strap is removable, so you can carry it as a clutch.

Number 2 of 12 on Hope's Christmas wish list!

On the second day of Christmas...

Check number 2 of 12 on my Christmas wish list:

Not from his current season, but still super chic, this Marc Jacobs studded satin bag is the perfect gift for the PYT in your life.

Loving the pyramid studs, which work tone on tone with the quilted satin. Absolutely luxurious!

The structure of this MJ bag is fantastic - that shape is timeless, and allows for ample storage. The chain-link strap works well the pyramid studs, and the gold-tone links match MJ's signature padlock perfectly.

And made in Italy? Quality, quality, quality.
