This is the Frankie hobo from 2003... it comes in three sizes. I think this one might be the medium.

Earlier this year (April) I saw a girl in London carrying an MJ bag and it was gorgeous. It had the name "Marc Jacobs" on the hardware.

It looked like the Stella bag with the pockets on the front but it only had one strap instead of two (bit like a bucket bag). I really liked it but didn't get a chance to ask where she bought it. It looked quite new (i.e. no scuffs and scratches).

Do you guys know if and when MJ did a bag in that style? Her bag was a grey/taupe/beige colour.

TIA

I purchased this a couple of months ago, the retail tag said it was original $2300, but I paid ~$500. I can't remember the name on the tag, but Meredith rings a bell.

I actually think that's the largest of the Frankie bags
the Medium (normal) size is approx 11-12 inches across and the strap looks longer with an extra O-ring. The largest size is pretty big and hits down by the hip -- I was in love with that bag (it reminded me of a slouchy gym bag!)

is the coloring really off on my monitor, or does this look like Denim?
The seller says there is no dated serial tag, but wouldn't a denim bag have one? I'm trying to remember what other color that she might describe as TEAL with that color lining and the MJ/Made in Italy nameplate (and since the Blake was introduced during F04 and dated serial tag started being used during F05, this has got to be a F04 or S05 color)

I'm almost positive the Rose/Mauve Frankie is the larger size
Here is a "regular" Frankie (in which she gives almost the same measurements), but look at the shoulder strap -

the Mauve one has a much longer strap with an extra O-ring (and the bag itself just looks larger)

That color is spearmint from Resort 2004.

i think they're the same size iluv...ones being hung and has been broken in, and the other is newer and is laying down, so it doesn't slouch as much....where's the extra "O" ring you're talking about?? i've always wanted to see a large sized one...

EDIT** oh duh...okay i see what you're saying about the "O" ring now...so is the large just have a longer strap?? but it measures about the same size everywhere else?? that must be weird if you unhook the dogleash thing as there's just an extra ring on there, you know to shorten the strap.....hrmmm ...very interesting..

No, the larger bag is definitely larger than the regular size. If that mauve one is the larger one (like I think it is), either her measurements or the measurements of the other bag are off (and I actually think the measurements of the smaller/medium size Khaki bag are off - I think it's only 10-11 inches long and 8 inches high).
