They look a lot like 2008 Marc Jacobs styles.

It’s probably why I like them.

I have been trying to find a small Stam in good condition at a good price. There was one on eBay. I asked the seller if it closed unevenly like it looked in the photo. The seller said that it was just a bad photo. They thanked me for my interest and said that they would take a better photo. Then they removed the listing. [emoji853]

I don’t know; I’ll wait and see if I find either one at a good price.

I bet she realized it wasn't even and doesn't know it's an easy fix. Are you looking for one in particular?

I'm sleeeeepy. I worked at the SD rally today and nearly five straight hours of talking + sea breeze + i forgot my coffee = bed time.

I like the brown leather one with the red/maroon suede interior. There is one on Poshmark now, but to me the interior looks rough for the price she wants.

I also don’t know why I keep looking at bags with chain straps as they don’t really work for me. That’s also why I thought the bag I posted might be one for me; although it has a chain strap, it also has a leather and canvas one.

I wish that I had known that the uneven closure was an easy fix, because it looked in great condition otherwise and the price was fairly low.

Hope you sleep well, faith! [emoji42]

I have not seen this either, faith. My newest MJ bag, after the MbMJ and MJ lines were merged is the Pike Place hobo; a full line Nordstrom (not Rack) exclusive. This bag made it to the Rack recently.

I examined this bag thoroughly after reading the above post, and it does not have the stamped leather tag. I also suspect the leather tag is in straight to the Rack/outlet bags. Next time I’m at the Rack I am going to check.

I asked customers service what the tag meant and received the below non-response.

Does anyone else recall these bags having that tag when they first came out? I don't. It's also been a couple years now since they were 'discontinued' and IMO there's far too many of them in stores like Nordstrom Rack and Off 5th to simply be past season.

I bet they are making bags these stores but aren't admitting to it.

I know there's a Marc Jacobs Outlet, but AFAIK merchandise is not made specifically for it. Maybe that's changed.

@zainyrj since you were also curious
Dear Faith,

Thank you for contacting Marc Jacobs!

We appreciate your recent purchase of the Marc Jacobs Classic Leather Messenger Bag. Please note that the handbag you linked is not a Marc by Marc Jacobs style or an outlet style; however, this is a past season handbag style that you will no longer find on our main website. All merchandise purchased through Nordstrom Rack is guaranteed to be authentic, as they are an authorized retailer for our brand. At this time, we only carry additional information on our current season's styles. For this reason, we are not able to provide additional information on this handbag. Thank you for your understanding.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you, and thank you again for contacting Marc Jacobs.

Sincerely,

That letter was written by a robot. They build them specifically just for writing letters like this.

I'm not familiar with the hummingbird necklace but a quick search suggests it might be called the Nancy? It appears to be from the same collection as the Snowbunting.

Hello,

I apologize for taking so long of a time to respond and regurgitating the subject; and i did attempt to research this without bothering you ladies, but i wonder if any of you ladies would be willing to help me once more with the Nancy necklace or hummingbird necklace? I always thought it was one long necklace, but based on the photos i found it may be two necklaces as i can't locate another similar to the one i posted. Maybe it can be worn as a short or a long necklace? The one i found may not be the way it goes together as some links need to be reattached, and it came with one price tag so i assumed it was one necklace and i did find it on the secondhand market.

I did direct another lady to your thread from the Secondhand Bargains here on TPF because she had a question about Marc Jacobs bag. I explained all of you were extremely nice with me. Thank you in advance.

On the tag, there should be a style number that starts with M. Have you tried googling that?

The collection it's from is called Save the Birds. It's an older line so it's tough to find photos of all the items, but with the two clasps, it does look like someone tried to put two necklaces (or maybe a necklace and a bracelet?) together.
