I can participate in this week's showcase. All I have are Marc Jacobs items, I haven't quite yet graduated to LV. Most of these items I received yesterday in the mail, so they're also in the MJ forum.

(This blue bag is Coach, but the black and yellow strap is Marc Jacobs)
Love your bags, and love that new strap! I was just looking at those....thinking about the blue and red one...the yellow looks great with your blue bag :heart: So fun!
 
@tenKrat : Thanks, I love his straps! I love the leather too, it's so soft!

@dcooney4 : Thank you! I am very pleased with the new bag, I've been dressing her up and experimenting with all my different bag charms today. The yellow strap I've actually had for a bit, but it was MJ so I included it. These straps are cheeky and comfortable, I'm eyeing another in just plain black and white.

@momasaurus : Thank you, it might be my favorite! It goes so well with my blue and brown bag, and now will with my new tote. I like how easily I can switch it between bags.

@jbags07 : The Marc Jacobs straps are really amazing. There's tons of different styles, the quality is top notch, they're super comfy, and they can actually be adjusted to be super short or long. I'd definitely recommend them!
 
Yesterday: IMG_6698.JPG IMG_6697.jpg Carried my orange Trim 31 in gulliver (swift) leather. Most of my H bags have some little flaw (because all are from the secondary market), which means I'm not afraid to actually use them. (Because it's a closet, not a museum.) This one has a little mark (like a small pencil line) that I haven't tried to clean because I don't know enough about this leather.

This bag is gorgeous!! I try not to be bothered by little dots on my bags. :flowers:

Marc Jacobs. I still have a lot. I really enjoyed finding these bags that were very well made. I got them after the popularity of the brand has declined, so really good prices on really luxe pieces!

This is a great mix of bags, @msd_bags . I mist those "good old days" of Marc Jacobs. I know his current line is popular (at least, I think it is???) but to my eye, the pieces in your collection are true classics.

That black single with silver hardware is especially stunning. I've never seen a Rita before. Great design!

I love your collection of MJ straps! I just bought one to make my Mini 54 more comfy, and the wider strap makes such a difference.
 
Yesterday I took out my MM Penny Messenger in port merinos. I didn't like this bag at first, but I've found it to be great for running errands, and it's definitely grown on me. Also it is my ONLY crossbody bag! I'm not sure why. I feel a bit like a Girl Scout. Anyone else?
A Girl Scout… that's funny!

I know just what you mean. I had a similar feeling 6 years ago, when I started carrying crossbody bags (courtesy of my physical therapist, who did me the favor of WEIGHING my shoulder strap bag, tut-tutting, and then not-so-gently informing me that crossbody bags were my new best friend.)

Now most of my bags are crossbody style, and I'm used to the look, but I certainly don't think of it as elegant. My neck and shoulder thank me, though. :angel:

I get this. At least I try to alternate shoulders....
Have you seen the re-released Kelly Danse? A Kelly fannypack. I can't even.
 
I just love the oversized hardware on this clutch. Is it from a recent season, or is it an older design? To me, it has more of an 80s or 90s vibe. Big hardware, big hair, big shoulder pads... :amuse:

I've just been rereading through the thread and saw this post. Did I not reply? Apologies dear Elaine.

The clutch is from AW2002, so one of the first bags Frida G. created for Tom Ford when she became head of handbags and he was still CD. Wow, almost 20 years ago OMG. I was still at uni and spent every penny of my living allowance on fashion (so not much has changed ha ha). I still have the springbok fur jacket with emperor sleeves from the same collection (a Christmas pressie) and 'harem' pants from the same year.

It's a great idea to play with charms and straps. Almost as good as getting a new bag.
