Marc Jacobs collection and MBMJ merged into a single line years ago.Forgive me if this has already been talked about but I couldn't find it. I've been seeing bags that look more like MBMJ but are labeled Marc Jacobs. Is there a bridge line? or has MJ started making less luxurious bags?
thank you for explaining thatMarc Jacobs collection and MBMJ merged into a single line years ago.
When they merged, some MBMJ styles started using that Marc Jacobs nameplate. The initial company line was that these styles were going to be discontinued and that nameplate was essentially being used for overstock while production tapered off. Either that was a lie or sales were decent enough to continue production. Those bags are basically considered outlet styles now and are sold at (made for, is the assumption) places like Off 5th, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, etc. but are not sold or even really recognized as existing by the official Marc Jacobs site. The 'mainline' styles now are mostly mid-range bags with a few premier priced bags mixed in.
I should clarify that not all the bags at places like NR are the assumed 'made for' styles. Some are still legitimate overstock that are from the mainline, just not the former MBMJ styles with those MJ nameplates. I'm sure they've added more bags to their outline line but I honestly haven't been paying much attention.thank you for explaining that
yes, I've been seeing the MJ bags at Nordstrom Rack
I've been at MV and also Poway recently......didn't notice those but there were some pebbled leather bags that looked more like MBMJ to me......years ago in my early PF days, Bloomingdales used to have MJ collection bags prominently displayed .....not sure if they even carry them anymoreI should clarify that not all the bags at places like NR are the assumed 'made for' styles.

If you were at Mission Valley, those frog snapshot bags and parrot backpacks are mainline, for example.

I haven't seen Marc Jacobs displayed anywhere in awhile. I know Barneys New York stopped carrying MJ this past June.

yes, the MJ bags were more special beforeI always thought they hardly doing themselves a favour with the merging. It is so wishy-washy now.
