Hi ladies. Finally bought another MJ item, but this time, clothing!

Advice from me, size up! LIke at least 2 sizes. I bought a blazer and I normally wear a 6, bought a 10 and it's actually still snug. A 12 is probably more appropriate if I want it buttoned up all the way.

That is an interesting looking handbag. I've never seen that one before.

Hi ladies
I just spent last night reading this thread backwards and I think (not the whole thing) and Faith Ann, you should be a writer. I love your sense of humor.
Anyway I was just given a MBMJ Turnlock Teri bag. Probably from 2008.
The leather is unbelievable. I also have an Aline Softly (?) I'm not nuts about but still a really well made bag. I have a lot of contemporary bags from that period and compared to what is out there now, for contemporary anyway, this bag makes them look like crap. Nice thick leather, lining makes me dizzy but I really like the bag and it's really functional for me.
Anyway this is my first post in this forum, just wanted to say Hi, there are some great collections here!

I thought I might grab the Snoopy bag but seeing it in person, it wasn't quite what I expected. The colours were too dull and the shape didn't look right on me.
For some reason, none of the newer collections are grabbing me. I think the last MJ bag I bought was the small Madison, but nothing since then has captured my heart. I can't even get behind the snapshot bags everyone adores. :hrmm:
Would love to see what others are buying, though... :biggrin:

Your collection is incredible! :nuts:
I'm the same way in that I have a few doubles (this is the only brand where I've bought multiples of the same bag in different colours) and I absolutely love my older MJ bags.
My collection in order of purchase:
1- MBMJ Natasha (large with zippers ) in army green with snake strap/sides (found a pic of it but this one is papyrus: https://picclick.com/Marc-by-Marc-Jacobs-New-Q-Zippers-Natasha-264423429232.html)
2- MBMJ small Natasha in 'India Ink' (which is a beautiful deep navy)
3- MBMJ Ligero Double Percy in burgundy
4- MBMJ Ligero Double Percy in black
5- Marc Jacobs small Recruit crossbody in a royal blue
6- Marc Jacobs small Madison in green with blue accent trims

I also own a couple of small bifold wallets (quilted leather in black and burgundy, both from the men's collection and they never seem to show any wear and tear), as well as several MBMJ bits of jewelry. Oh and a couple of pairs of shoes (mouse flats and dog sneakers).

I missed out on the MBMJ Goodbye Columbus crossbody which I really loved because I couldn't find the right colourway at the time, and there was an MJ reversible zip bucket bag that I wanted a few years ago but it looked like a lunch pail on me, so I never bought it.
I'm sure I'll find more to add to my collection soon enough, as these are by far my most used bags and they only seem to get better with time. Until then, I've got a good enough variety in terms of sizes, models and colours to keep me going until I find something that really makes my heart happy.

I love seeing everyone's collections on here though, and I love that others can rock the bags that I know I can't wear myself. Shame that this sub-forum doesn't move as quickly as the others because, imo, MJ bags are freaking awesome. :smile:
