Just purchased 1st Marc by MJ bag...2nd thoughts on color - eek!

stumblina1000 · Sep 7th, 2008, 06:52 PM

I just purchased my first Marc by Marc Jacobs bag - the Teri Turnlock in a new dark plum color. However, now I've having second thoughts that maybe I should have purchased the Fool's Gold color (http://www.shopbop.com/totally-turnl...m=browse-brand).

What color do you think has more longevity? The dark plum or a medium bronze metallic?

I'd stick to dark plum.....sooo much of a richer colour!

I loooove that new dark plum color! I have been looking here and there for the smaller satchel in that color but all I have seen is black and fools gold. I much prefer the plum personally. Congrats!

Plum is so fashionable this season. It goes with loads of colurs from casual in denim to dressed in a black suit for work.

LindaP · Sep 7th, 2008, 07:25 PM

I like the plum better, by far!

Definitely agree on the plum. Much more likely to stay the course of time, and really - plum goes with just about everything, especially this shade.

I think you made the right choice with the Elderberry! It will be a great colour for the fall, and it will compliment many different outfits! Congrats on your new bag!

Plum, metallics tend to lose their luster over time.

stumblina1000 · Sep 7th, 2008, 11:13 PM

Okay, ladies, I feel much better (the same can not be said for my wallet)!

I've been looking for a purplish bag since spring, so not sure why I had sudden doubts.

Greenpixie - check Nordstrom's for the dark plum. They had a few other styles in that color that she said just arrived this week.

Yum...can't see the plum on the website anymore, but I can only imagine how lovely it is. I'd definitely choose a plum over the fool's gold. And btw...the bag is wonderful. I recently had to sell mine (black) because it's too big for my frame...but I LOVED it. Now that I see how much it's selling for, I probably should've raised the price a little...the bag was brand new, and I sold it for around $325, I think!

Another vote for plum even though it's not showing on the link. I'm not a big fan of metallics.

I just bought a MbMJ in this color...it's so nice

Your first instinct is usually the best. Congrats on the plum, I'm sure it is lovely!

Graciella · Sep 8th, 2008, 05:59 AM

I was all over this colour when I was in NYC, but I couldn't find a bag design I liked, so I went for another MbyMJ in black. But the colour is TDF - you should keep it!

I saw a MBMJ bag in plum the other day. It's a great colour. I'd keep if I were you! Enjoy your new bag!
