So this is one of the most popular celeb here in Indo with her daughter sporting a Snapshot bag

Sorry for the bad quality though, I found the pic from Google! But the bag is really really popular in Indo literally every girls have one now. And they’re sold at slightly ridiculous price. So the MSRP on the tag is US$295 I believe, but here the resellers on the internet sell it for at least $350-$500 :facepalm: so silly! Just because it’s so popular and is on high demand atm. I don’t know about the retail price at the MJ boutique though, since I haven’t been to one in years. But I guess it’d be more expensive since the gov taxes us a lot for luxury goods like this.
And wow Hermes is definitely out of my reach :lol: I like their bracelets though. I have an Hermes Kelly bracelet in black GHW now and am so tempted in buying another one or maybe a Clic Clac but idk, they cost a fortune :whut:
Btw I’m sorry for starting such an OOT discussion. Please don’t ban me here:eek:

No such thing as off topic in the chat thread, you're good! :)

You're right, the plain Snapshots start at $295. I think they max out at $495 for the specialty ones. I would normally suggest trying to get a deal on ebay, but there are unfortunately sooo many Snapshot replicas flooding the market right now.

Thanks for the photo, angelphilipus!

I like the Snapshot bag. Yes, in the US you can find one at a good price.

I doubt you’ll be banned. I think everyone will appreciate more activity on this thread!

At first, I think it’s overrated and very impractical. Also I thought the guitar strap is too much. But now I kinda want one myself. I’m usually not into trendy seasonal bags, but they come in so many different patterns and colors, and I love a bag that gives me plenty of choices! But I don’t know, I don’t want to only wear this bag for a year and then once the trend is over, it goes back to its dustbag sitting in my closet. Do you think the style would last for quite long?

It's nice to have you!

I'm happy to hear Marc Jacobs is still popular somewhere. I live in San Diego, California and although I see a ton of girls with one of the numerous versions of the Natasha, it's store and online presence is basically nonexistent. A few years ago, this chat thread used to have as many posts in a day as it gets in a month now. I'm not sure what shifted; I think maybe combining the premiere Marc Jacobs collection line and the lower tiered Marc by Marc Jacobs line turned people off.

It's still my favorite label and I only own MJ bags, but I haven't purchased a current season style in years, though I like many of them. I would like to add a Snapshot bag to my collection eventually. Do you have a favorite version? There are so many choices! It's not a very practical style, but for some reason I'm partial to the black small velvet one.

Hi Faith! Thanks for joining my off topic discussion with Mimmy :biggrin: yeah true that. They’re like dead online. I barely ever heard people bragging about their new MJ purchase on Instagram, usually it’s just some LV or Gucci (which is very very popular atm). But since last year my IG feed is so full with this MJ Snapshot and I was like, wait, Marc Jacobs??? It’s never popular here and I thought the brand is dying... And yeah when it comes to counterfeit bags, Indo is also #1 on that :shocked: because for most people here the bag is sooo expensive they’d opt for the bad fakes. But I’ve seen some local sellers selling the replica/super mirror/VIP quality bag for around $80-$120, and they look REALLY similar. It’s scary! As for my fav, I like the plain French Gray one

But I also like this one that has “MARC” on it instead of the double J’s. I don’t really like bags with many embellishments or accessories on it but I haven’t seen the entire collection (they’re way too many!!!) so I might like other variations as well! And I honestly didn’t know they have that version on your pic. It’s so interesting!

I'm the opposite - I like bags with sequins and studs and the like. The more classic versions will definitely age better, though. The French Gray will go with almost everything.

This one is cute! Reminds me of MK’s grommet style a lot.

I like some bags with sequins and studs and all the accessories and have recently purchased a Coach crossbody with them. It’s my first bag that’s so “loud”. Haven’t worn it though. I kinda like this Snapshot now but I’m not sure if I can still wear it for the next 5 years without looking “so last year”. What do you think?

It's not capitalizing on any trends (well, maybe it is in Indonesia?) so I think it's standard enough to still look fashionable years from now. Since it's super popular where you are, I guess there's the risk that it'll be a style stuck in a particular time, like how in the US Celine Trapeze bags (which I like, no offense to anyone) are very 2012, etc.

I'm desperately stupid.

I had really wanted a Samsung Galaxy Edge. There was a cheap one the other day but I hesitated to switch from an iPhone. Figured I'd sleep on it. Woke up. Out of stock. $100 more everywhere else and not in the color I wanted. Unlikely to be restocked.

Why so dumb

Hmm yeah I think for this kind of bags, it depends on where you live. We do have some bag trends that people who live in other parts of the world wouldn’t understand, but that works the same on their side as well. I’d probably take the plunge and buy this bag... But I’m still not certainly sure. I’ll post a picture of the bag if I ended up getting it. Thanks for your opinion faith!
