It was just yesterday that I was saying I had never liked a drawstring bag before, wasn’t it? It seems like as soon as I make a generality like that about any bag attribute, bags that I love that also share that characteristic start falling from the sky. First, it was the Rebecca Minkoff Tess Drawstring Bag – black leather, ultra useful, gorgeous.

And now, the object of my drawstring affections is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel. I can only anticipate their being a third drawstring bag to prove me wrong tomorrow. Things tend to come in threes, after all.

Isn’t it pretty? I think it is. The bag is simple and functional, but the placement of the drawstring gives it a satisfying slouch that is often hard to find in a tote or satchel. We already know that the leather on all of the Classic Q bags is fantastic, so I’m having a hard time finding something not to like here. Buy through ShopBop for $528.

This bag kind of reminds me of the Kooba Lola that I would love to own if I could fine a brand new one in black. I like it.

I like the look, but not sure that I'd like dealing with the drawstring when carrying it. I'd have to see it.

It's okay at best. The body is a thumb down, but the handle portion is a thumb up.

where is the gray one being sold?

karmenzsofia · Oct 15th, 2009, 10:43 PM

^ Don't know. I haven't looked for it. I would do an online search using the web, shopping and images features to see if it shows up somewhere.
