No kidding: I’m approximately a half second away from ordering the Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha Classic Q Shoulder Bag on Net-a-Porter. I’m barely restraining myself. The color? Beautiful. The leather? Soft. The size? Functional. The price? Reasonable.

I wasn’t entirely sold on this bag until I saw it in person, but it’s actually really great. The leather is what we’ve come to expect from Marc by Marc Jacobs, even at sub-$350 price tags: thick, soft and pliable. And there’s plenty of it, as it takes the center stage on this simple yet chic bag.

The color is also fantastic for winter – if you’ve never paired purple with charcoal grey, you’ve never really created a cold-weather outfit. It would also go with basically anything in my wardrobe, and the only color that I ever pause to pair it with is red. A purple bag can absolutely be used every day, and this one is in such a functional shape and size that I don’t see why you wouldn’t.

As I mentioned previously, though, my favorite part is the price. I defy you to find a bag with leather as nice as this one for less. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $330.

I love the look of this bag. I don't love that plate on it though!

NagaJolokia · Oct 30th, 2009, 08:55 AM

Just blah. Nice color and leather look, but those two are not nearly enough to overcome the blandness of the rest of the bag.

The leather is TDF!

Love the leather and color, but not too keen on MJ's big plates. I wonder if the strap can be shortened. I like the double duty straps.

The price on this pushes the "order" button, that's for sure.
Did you buy it?
